Chelsea eyes young talents, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal alert
Atletico Madrid Eyeing Summer Transfer Targets
Atletico Madrid is actively scouting potential targets for the upcoming summer transfer window. With key defensive players like Axel Witsel and Cesar Azpilicueta set to depart, the club is on the lookout for suitable replacements. Among their top priorities is securing the services of Cristian Romero for one of the defensive positions.
Competition for Defenders: Lenglet vs. Mourino
Atleti is faced with a choice between Clement Lenglet and Santiago Mourino for the remaining defensive spot. While Mourino was previously sold to Alaves, Atletico Madrid has a buy-back clause of €3m, making a potential reunion an enticing prospect. However, reports from Relevo suggest that Strasbourg, affiliated with the BlueCo group, is keen on acquiring the 23-year-old Uruguayan.
Strasbourg’s Interest in La Liga Stars
Strasbourg is not only eyeing Mourino but also Villarreal’s rising star, Etta Eyong. The 21-year-old attacker recently made headlines by scoring his first senior goal for Villarreal. Despite the youngster’s potential, Strasbourg is determined to secure his services for the upcoming season.
Decision Time for Villarreal
Villarreal holds high hopes for Eyong, evident from their coach’s decision to field him in crucial matches. However, if Strasbourg presents a compelling offer, the Spanish club may consider selling the promising youngster. The player’s future hangs in the balance as negotiations unfold.
Alaves, where Mourino currently plays, will also play a role in any potential transfer deal. While they have the final say, Atletico Madrid’s buy-back clause adds an interesting twist to the situation. The value of both players in the eyes of Strasbourg remains uncertain, but the Ligue 1 side’s Champions League aspirations could influence their decisions.
