According to the latest report of Spanish authoritative media "Marca", Atletico Madrid Football Club has not stopped its pace of strengthening its lineup after consecutively bringing in a number of strong reinforcements. In the face of increasingly fierce competition in the league and the Champions League, the management of Atletico Madrid has shown a high degree of foresight and flexibility, making it clear that the next attraction strategy will focus on free transfers and the loan market, while strictly controlling the cost of salaries to ensure the team's financial health and competitiveness.
Against this backdrop, Atletico Madrid's attraction goal has become particularly clear: to find those players who can enhance the team's immediate strength, but will not bring a heavy burden to the club's finances. This strategy not only reflects Atletico's shrewdness and pragmatism, but also provides the possibility of capturing "cost-effective" players on the market. Just like the successful signing of Witsel two years ago, Atletico is looking forward to staging a similar "gold rush" again.
It is interesting to note that with the handling of contractual changes and amortized costs of departures of certain players in the team, such as Garland, Atletico Madrid has gained valuable financial space, which provides direct financial support for the introduction of new recruits. With such an opportunity, Atletico Madrid began a global search for those soccer talents that fit its strategic needs.
Among the potential reinforcements, Portuguese midfielder Nunes has become the center of attention. The 26-year-old midfielder had a brilliant performance at Wolves, and his excellent technical ability and tactical understanding allowed him to win the favor of Premier League giants Manchester City, and ultimately transferred at a high price of 60 million euros. However, nowadays, under Guardiola's tactical system, Nunes seems to have lost his former luster and is facing the embarrassing situation of not being able to play at Manchester City. This presents a great opportunity for Atletico Madrid to rekindle the spark in their career by bringing in the talented midfielder who is in need of proving himself at a relatively low cost.
