The Atlético works on finalizing their roster
The Atlético is working on finalizing the roster for this season. They still have several issues to resolve. One of them is the left back position. The Filipe Luis situation is not simple and Atlético is exploring other possibilities. Yesterday, it was reported from Portugal that Atlético is interested in Alex Sandro, the left back from Porto. The Portuguese club is also interested in Raúl Jiménez and an agreement could be reached involving these two players. The problem with Alex Sandro is that he occupies a foreign player slot and Atlético already has their slots filled with Jackson, Giménez, and Correa. However, the Brazilian is highly regarded by the club's management.
Another open issue is Mario Suárez
Yesterday, Mario Suárez was seen heavily engaged with his mobile phone and having an extensive conversation with Caminero. Atlético is confident that the player will give his approval to Fiorentina. The team will leave the Los Ángeles de San Rafael training camp today, as Simeone is giving them a break. They will return tomorrow night and we will have to see if Mario comes back with the team. However, Cebolla won't return as he has permission from the club to negotiate his departure. Independiente will be his destination.
