Atletico Madrid seal €15 million deal for 20 years old midfielder

Diego Simeone is eager to make changes to a few positions in his team, thus Atletico Madrid will have a very busy summer. They are prepared to make their first signing even if the transfer window doesn’t open for another month.

According to O Jogo, Atleti and Rodrigo Gomes, a 20-year-old right-back who presently plays for Braga, are nearing a signing. He played mostly as a right wing-back in Simeone’s system, scoring nine goals and dishing out eight assists for fellow Portuguese team Estoril last season.

In order to complete the sale, tleti would pay Braga €15 million, a substantial sum given their ongoing financial difficulties. It does, however, imply that they hold him in the highest regard, and he would complement the young players in Simeone’s roster, which already includes Samu Omorodion, Pablo Barrios, and Arthur Vermeeren.

Gomes would give Atletico Madrid’s defense much-needed depth on the right side if he were to sign. Nahuel Molina had a very bad 2023–24 season; if he wants to be the starter in 2024–25, he needs to stand by his convictions.
