Atletico Madrid is thinking about the present, but also the future. Without a great stimulus pushing them the rest of this season, one in which saw them eliminated from Champions League and defeated in an important league match against Barcelona, Simeone's squad is focusing on holding onto second place from a surging Real Madrid team. The club, therefore, is also planning for the year that will come, as the market never waits.
With both Godin and Lucas prepared to leave over the summer, Atletico Madrid is looking to replace the two central defenders. In the past few days, the club has met with Porto to discuss their Brazilian defender Felipe, as the club has great interest in the player who appeared 46 times this year. Discussions are expected to advance further in the coming days. It's also possible that the clubs spoke also about Alex Telles, who made 40 appearances this year and is also of interest to Madrid.
