Atletico Madrid preparing offer for Serie A goalkeeper

On Saturday, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone confirmed that two more signings would be joining his squad before the end of the summer transfer window. Clement Lenglet is one, with a season-long loan deal agreed with Barcelona, while the second is believed to be a new backup goalkeeper – needed after Horatiu Moldovan’s move to Sassuolo.

According to Marca, Juan Musso has emerged as a leading candidate to be the new understudy to Jan Oblak. The 30-year-old currently holds a backup position at Atalanta, so a different challenge could be an incentive for him. Walter Benitez also remains a target, but he’s more difficult to sign as PSV Eindhoven will not let him leave cheaply.

Matteo Moretto has confirmed the report about Musso, also stating that Atalanta expect to receive a loan offer from Atleti in the coming hours.

Musso would be an experienced addition, and Atletico Madrid would rightly see this as a low risk signing. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Atalanta before next week’s transfer deadline.
