Atletico Madrid's defensive target will cost in the region of €9m, trio of Italian clubs enter race

Atletico Madrid are expected to have a very busy summer transfer window, and their main business will be securing defensive reinforcements. Two new centre-backs are needed, while a right-back is also out, with Nahuel Molina no longer considered indispensable due to a number of poor performances this season.

Molina's compatriot, Agustin Giay, It is said to be a target for Atleti regarding the position of the right hand. The 20-year-old is highly regarded in Argentina, where he currently plays for San Lorenzo. A deal is possible this summer, with AS Diary reporting that it could cost $8-10m for a sale to be.

It is not clear at this stage if Atleti is willing to pay this amount, but even so, it is far from right that they will get their man on Giay. The report notes that AC Milan, Udinese and Lazio have all entered the race to secure the youngster's signature this summer.

It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid can take Giay. Another right is needed, but it could be just out of his price range, especially because of this new interest that is shown, which could drive the asking price of San Lorenzo.
