BOMBSHELL: Stanislav Lobotka in the sights of Atlético de Madrid 6g444m

Atlético de Madrid has started to make moves in search of a key reinforcement in the midfield and has set its sights on Stanislav Lobotka. The Slovakian midfielder, current pillar of Napoli and with a past in LaLiga, emerges as a strong alternative if the Atletico club fails to close other options such as Johnny Cardoso, which remains a priority but is complex economically.

Lobotka, 30 years old, is well acquainted with Spanish football from his time at Celta de Vigo, where he demonstrated a great ability to organize play from deep. Since moving to Serie A, he has evolved into a reliable defensive midfielder, being an essential piece in Napoli's Scudetto-winning team. This season, he has accumulated over 2,800 minutes, establishing himself as one of the most utilized players in the Italian team.

Simeone has been searching for months for a profile that fits the physical and tactical demands of his system, and the Slovakian international fits the idea that the Argentine coach has in mind: organization, ball circulation, and defensive reading. Moreover, his prior experience in the Spanish championship is a bonus that the coaching staff does not overlook.

Although his contract with Napoli extends until 2027 and his price could be around 25 million euros, Atlético sees him as a viable option if the Italian club is open to negotiations. It will all depend on how the market evolves and the direction Napoli's planning takes, which could lead to some changes in midfield.

Currently, there is no official offer on the table, but attentively analyzing every move of the Slovakian is already underway at the Metropolitano.
