Atlético de Madrid faces a dilemma in their goalkeeping department for the upcoming season. Antonio Gomis, the usual third goalkeeper of the team, has decided not to renew his contract with the red and white club. At 21 years old, the Elche native wants to take a step forward in his career and search for a team where he can have more prominence, leaving the mattress team with the need to find a new substitute for Jan Oblak and Juan Musso.

Gomis has made the most of his time at Atlético training with two of the best goalkeepers in the world and living unique experiences in high-level competitions like the Champions League. However, his priority now is to get playing time in another team and consolidate his professional career.

Is the answer in the youth academy?

The Madrid club will have to decide who will take his place. As reported by MundoDeportivo, Alejandro Iturbe appears as the main candidate, as he has turned down offers from the Second Division to stay in the reserve team and fight for promotion to the silver category under the guidance of Fernando Torres. However, if Iturbe chooses to continue at Atlético B, the sports management will have to look for an alternative, with names like Esquivel, Álvaro Moreno, or Dani Rubio on the list.

The summer emerges as a key period for the planning of the red and white goalkeeping. Gomis' departure forces Atlético to make strategic decisions and find a replacement that ensures stability in the third goalkeeper position.
