Three people officially announced in three days to join, spend 100 million euros: The eliminated European powerhouse is really fighting now

The Club World Cup group stage officially ended yesterday. In the entire top 16, European teams occupied 9 seats, which is indeed a lot. However, this may be slightly lower than what people expect. After all, it is really unexpected that Champions League regulars like Porto and Atletico Madrid have not been able to break through the group.

Especially Atletico Madrid, under Simeone, was eliminated under relatively good grouping conditions, which is truly a particularly disappointing thing. In addition, Atletico Madrid's performance in recent years is indeed not very outstanding and has not won too many trophies, so Simeone is under great pressure.

After being eliminated in the Club World Cup group stage, Atletico Madrid also embarked on the road to accelerate recruitment. Before this, they had confirmed that they would strive to introduce new players this offseason to gradually eliminate veterans in the team, reduce the average age of the team, and enhance the vitality and potential of the team. After being eliminated from the Club World Cup, they also accelerated the process setting. According to the news given by well-known transfer professional Romano, Atletico Madrid has officially announced the news of Barrena joining today. The transfer fee has reached 45 million, plus a floating euro level of 5 million, which is indeed a lot for Atletico Madrid.

Interestingly, this is the third consecutive day they have completed the official announcement. Before that, they have bought Betis' midfielder Cardoso for 30 million euros and 22-year-old young defender Rugeri for 20 million euros. Now they are fighting. The transfer price of the three players has reached 100 million euros, and there are new players in each position. This shows that Atletico Madrid is indeed fighting.

For Simeone, next season is also a very important watershed. If the senior management continues to support the season, they still cannot achieve good results in various competitions, especially trophys, then there is indeed a possibility of leaving the team. Although Atletico Madrid is not as traditional as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​he still wants his face. After buying new players, they will work hard to get opportunities next season, which is the foundation for Simeone to prove himself.
