According to reports from Diario AS, Atletico Madrid are looking to sign Elche defender, Johan Mojica despite having a number of players in the left-back position at the moment.

The Colombian international, who earned Spanish nationality in 2019, has contributed two goals and five assists for Elche this season and is ranked as one of the finest left-backs in the five major leagues this season.

Mojica joined Elche in the January transfer window of 2021 and has earned 19 caps for the Colombian national team.

While Atletico do admire him, however, it isn’t thought that a deal will necessarily take place now. Diego Simeone is well-stocked at left-back, with Renan Lodi, Reinildo Mandava, Mario Hermoso and Yannick Carrasco all capable of playing there.
