Atletico Madrid plans to strengthen their defense by targeting Serie A players as they prepare for upcoming departures in their squad at the end of the season.
Clement Lenglet is currently on loan from Barcelona, while Witsel and Azpilicueta will see their contracts end in June. So far, there are no plans to extend their contracts.
Because of this situation, Atletico Madrid is expected to search for at least two new central defenders. Lenglet could be one of the players they sign if he keeps up his good performance in the coming weeks.
Another player on their radar is Sam Beukema from Bologna. Reports from Sky Italia suggest that Atletico officials are closely watching him.
Beukema has gained attention over the last year and a half, and he could be a great addition to Atletico Madrid’s team. However, it is still uncertain if he will be a cost-effective choice for the club.
