Simeone says Atlético must target defensive signings

Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, said the club must concentrate on defensive signings in the remaining weeks of the season. He made the remark during a press conference as the campaign entered its final phase. Simeone highlighted that the club’s extensive effort in the current transfer market should be directed toward strengthening the back line. He stressed that improving defence is the priority for upcoming acquisitions. “It is about good players; without good players there are no good coaches,” Simeone asserted. The comment underscored his belief that quality recruits are essential for coaching success. The Argentine manager’s remarks came amid Atlético’s ongoing assessment of squad needs. He indicated that the upcoming window will focus on bringing in defensive talent rather than pursuing other positions. Looking ahead, Atlético is expected to target defenders in the next transfer period. Simeone’s guidance suggests the club will allocate resources to secure players that can fortify the back four.
