The race for Argentine midfielder Walter Montoya

Waiting to know the definitive resolution regarding the FIFA sanction that prevents the Atlético de Madrid from signing new players both in January and in the upcoming summer transfer window, the club has set its sights on some potential signings for the future. Always attentive to the opportunities offered by both the domestic and international markets, the current Europa League runner-up is involved in the pursuit of a promising Argentine footballer.

Specifically, according to reports from Secolo XIX, the player in question is Walter Montoya. He is a 23-year-old midfielder who can play both in central midfield and on the right side and during the 2016-2017 season, he played a total of 8 matches in the Primera A, scoring 2 goals.

Valued at €5 million by Rosario Central, the player has attracted interest from several clubs, including the aforementioned Atlético de Madrid, Genoa (currently leading the race for his services), and Sassuolo in Europe. In Argentina itself, both Boca Juniors and River Plate are also closely monitoring the situation of this player, born in Machagai, whose name seems destined to be on everyone's lips in the coming months.
