Atletico Madrid failed in a late attempt to sign a defensive midfielder during the summer, although they have not completely abandoned their plans to address this situation going forward. Recently, it was reported that they have to try to make a move in January, with Getafe's Luis Milla and Majorca's Samu Costa among those being considered.
Ramón Carrascal, coach of the Unió Esportiva Vic: “We are a completely amateur club. The players will go to work or study on Thursday morning, and in the afternoon, they will play against Griezmann or whoever Simeone puts. It is not easy to process.”@mundodeportivo pic.twitter.com/rZt3JFGCVg

ED they reported that another La Liga player that Atleti is interested in is Real Betis' Johnny Cardoso. The American international put in an outstanding performance against Los Colchoneros last weekend, and that clearly saw some at the club take notice – including manager Diego Simeone.
The problem that Atletico Madrid the face is that Tottenham Hotspur is also passionate about Cardoso – and not only that, they have a special clause that allows him to sign cheaper than any other club. As such, it could be difficult for the 23-year-old to end up moving to the Metropolitan in 2025.
