Atletico Madrid "king" of the market, 4 transfers and 200 million
Surprisingly, Atletico Madrid is the main protagonist of this market.

After a bad season that ended with the fourth place in La Liga, the "Colchoneros" have decided to strongly restart the Simeone project by investing like never before in recent years.

From England on Tuesday they assure: "Operation" Julian Alvarez is closed, the Argentinian will soon be official at Atletico.

An investment of 95 million euros that doubles what the club has spent so far.

Since the season ended, it was understood that the cycle was closed for some players.

Mario Hermoso, Stefan Savic and Memphis Depay left the team, above all Alvaro Morata and Saul Niguez, the latter on loan to Sevilla.

Heavy departures that not only created spaces, but also paved the way to totally change the face of the team.

Le Normand, Sorloth and soon Gallagher and Julian Alvarez.

The first major acquisition was a European champion: Robin Le Norman.

The defender who came from Real Sociedad for around 30 million euros, without forgetting another 5 million that will go in the form of bonuses, and is the tenth most expensive purchase in the history of the club.

Then it was the turn of Morata's heir: Alexander Sorloth.

The attacker came from Villarreal for 32 million euros, an "operation" that started from the failure to transfer to Madrid Dovbyk who signed with Roma.

The midfield will be enriched with Conor Gallagher, a footballer born in 2000, and Madrid have reached an agreement with Chelsea for 40 million euros.

Finally, the icing on the cake: Julian Alvarez, who has decided to leave Manchester City and is ready to transfer to Atletico for a total of 95 million euros.

So, with the completion of the transfer of the Argentine, Atletico will close the market with nearly 200 million euros of expenses, as the balance is expected to be adjusted by the formalization of Samu Omorodion to Chelsea.

The striker born in 2004 has closed the details with the Londoners who will pay not a little, but about 50 million euros.

In short, this summer is all about Atletico, who look set to be a worthy challenger for the title alongside the two main contenders, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
