UEFA Champions League
Atlético Madrid is confident of finalizing the loan deal for Juan Musso in the coming days, with an obligation to buy that will only be triggered under specific conditions. The operation, which appears to be in its final stages, has been focused on bringing in the Argentine goalkeeper as a backup for Jan Oblak, following Horatiu Moldovan's departure to Sassuolo.
Musso has already given his approval to join the red and white team, and it is only pending for Atalanta to find a replacement before closing the definitive agreement.
Negotiations between both clubs are progressing, and it is expected that the loan offer from Atlético Madrid will be formalized shortly. Musso, who currently plays a secondary role at Atalanta, sees this move as an opportunity to revitalize his career at a team with aspirations to compete at the top level of European football. At 30 years old, the Argentine would bring experience and quality to Diego Simeone's squad, who recently confirmed he expects two new signings before the end of the summer transfer window.
Juan Musso, Atlético Madrid's sixth signing
Atlético, which already has an agreement for the loan of Clément Lenglet from Barcelona, considers Musso a viable and low-risk option to strengthen their goalpost. However, the operation is not without obstacles, as Atalanta will not give the green light until they secure the arrival of a new goalkeeper to cover the departure of the Argentine.
The possibility of adding Musso before the transfer window closes is viewed favorably by the red and white board, seeking to complete the squad with a reliable backup for Oblak. Now, the outcome depends on Atalanta, who must expedite the search for their next goalkeeper to ensure the operation concludes successfully in the coming days.
