The club lacks adequate quality and assurance, particularly in the middle defensive position. This is primarily due to Mario Hermoso and Felipe’s unclear futures, while Stefan Savic has experienced injury problems.

According to Diario AS, Los Rojiblancos are seeking to recreate “operation Reinildo,” which saw the club pay a little amount to sign Reinildo in January despite the fact that he was free to transfer at the end of the previous campaign.

Atlético Madrid saw a return on their investment in Reinildo, as the Mozambican has emerged as one of the group’s most reliable players. The team is now attempting to repeat the procedure for Soyuncu, whose current deal with Leicester City expires at the end of the current campaign.

Soyuncu, a former player for Stuttgart, is a powerful center-back with a keen defensive eye and physicality, which should make him the perfect match for Simeone’s style of play. He has participated in 125 competitive games for Leicester City, therefore he also has plenty of experience.

Soyuncu’s current term expires in 2023, leaving him potentially available for a bargain deal in January, making him a prime target for Atletico Madrid. From a sports standpoint, Felipe, who has lost favor at Atleti and is slated to leave the club in the forthcoming January transfer window, might be successfully replaced by the Turkish international.

Meanwhile…

One of the biggest letdowns at Atletico Madrid over the past several months has been Yannick Carrasco.

The Belgian international, formerly regarded as one of the team’s most crucial players, has devolved into a liability under the new system, with the attacker frequently experiencing form issues this season.

Carrasco has only started eight league games this season, and he has only scored once. This is a direct result of his subpar play.

The Belgian’s efforts were disappointing, even at the World Cup. He was only able to play twice for Belgium throughout the competition; they played horribly and were eliminated in the group stages.
