Atlético Madrid is determined to address its defensive shortcomings in the upcoming summer transfer market, focusing on the addition of a reliable center-back who fits well into Diego Pablo Simeone's multiple systems. With a list of seven possible candidates, the red and white club aims to cover potential departures of players like Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta, while deciding on Clément Lenglet's future with the first team or a return to FC Barcelona.

Among the prominent names is Isak Hien, a defender from Atalanta who, at 25 years old, has proven to be a key player in Serie A. Also featured is Evan Ndicka, established in Roma as a defensive standout. Both options may involve complex negotiations, but their performance makes them strong contenders to wear the red and white shirt.

Alternatives in the European market

Zeno Debast, a young talent from Sporting Portugal, and Martin Skriniar, currently playing for PSG, are other options being considered by Atlético. While Debast represents a future investment at just 21 years old, Skriniar's experience could bring immediate solidity to the red and white defense. However, the potential departure of both players will depend on the financial demands of their respective clubs.

On another note, familiar names such as Cristhian Mosquera and Yarek Gasiorowski from Valencia, along with Mika Marmol from Las Palmas, continue to be part of the Madrid team's plans. These young defenders have been on the radar of the colchonero since the last transfer window and could be more financially accessible alternatives.

With a clear focus on renewing and strengthening their defense, Atlético Madrid faces a significant challenge ahead. The decision on the next signing will not only depend on the cost but also on how well the pieces fit into Simeone's tactical scheme to ensure a solid defensive line in the upcoming competitions.
