Atletico is preparing for big changes in order to bring Real Madrid and Barcelona to their knees in the new season

This season, Atletico Madrid have once again failed to compete with their main rivals, Real Madrid and Barcelona, in the fight for the La Liga championship. Due to the lower-than-expected results of Diego Simeone's team, the club's management has begun serious measures to significantly strengthen the squad.

The new board of directors, recently formed under the leadership of Carlos Busero and Severiano Garcia, is working diligently to bring the "matras" to a higher level. According to Sport, head coach Diego Simeone has identified the new players the team needs before next season and presented the club's management with specific requirements for their transfers.

Defensive line:
The experienced Argentine is keen to bring in his compatriot, Tottenham's main defender Christian Romero. Romero is also keen to try his hand at a new environment. Atletico are ready to spend around 50-55 million euros to make this transfer happen.

Midfield:
Atletico's main target to strengthen the central line, which is crucial to the team's style of play, is Villarreal's bright representative Alex Baena. However, if this transfer does not happen, Madrid have a number of additional candidates at their disposal: among them are Valencia's talented young star Xavi Guerra, Premier League representatives Mateo Kovacic (Manchester City) and Thomas Partey (Arsenal).

Forward:
Diego Simeone is demanding a forward who can score goals accurately and consistently. The head coach's main choice is Victor Dioquerez, who plays for the Portuguese club Sporting. Other top clubs are also interested in this player, who has scored goals in a row in the last two seasons. Therefore, the management of Atletico must be ready to spend a lot of money to make this transfer happen.

It is clear that the Madrid team is planning to seriously strengthen the squad in order to compete with its main rivals in the new season and achieve the long-awaited championship title. If these transfers are implemented, the championship fight in La Liga may become even more intense.
