Atlético de Madrid is already thinking about the reinforcements it must make in January to increase the current level that the squad is offering. Simeone’s men seem to be one step below the big clubs in Europe and the sports management wants to incorporate players in January. One of the positions in which Cholo needs new players the most is on the left side.

Despite the unexpected good level that Javi Galán is giving, Atlético de Madrid needs a proven footballer in that position. Reinildo has greatly reduced his performance and does not contribute in attack what Simeone needs from a full-back in his team. For this reason, the red and white club moved and focused on one of the best full-backs in the Premier League in recent years.
Atleti’s desire can head to Italy
Ben Chilwell is not having opportunities this season at Chelsea and everything pointed to him leaving at the end of the year or even in the month of January. This made Atlético Madrid take notice of the 27-year-old full-back and former teammate of Connor Gallagher, but Juventus have intervened. As reported by the important English media, MailSport, the Englishman would have his hours numbered in London as a Chelsea player.

The information is that Juventus would be very close to obtaining Chilwell’s loan in January, thus leaving Atleti without opportunities. Furthermore, the most normal thing would be for said transfer to include a purchase option at the end of the season. With this, Simeone would be left without one of the best quality-price options available on the market.
Reinildo with one foot outside the club
As reported by Matteo Moretto a few weeks ago, Reinildo’s renewal with Atlético de Madrid is completely paralyzed. His contract expires at the end of this season and if he does not reach an agreement with the club, he will be free to sign with whoever he wants for free. The Mozambican has several suitors and although his priority is Atlético, his continuity for the next campaign is not assured.
