Atletico Madrid eye two Manchester United stars after transfer update
Atletico Madrid could make a summer transfer move for two Manchester United stars following an update from Old Trafford. The Red Devils are expected to offload a host of star players in the coming months following a miserable season under Ruben Amorim. Advertisement United lost to Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final – to miss out on a final chance for a trophy and European qualification for 2025/26 – as they prepare for the club's lowest-ever Premier League finish. Amorim has reportedly already set asking prices for Barcelona target Marcus Rashford, Real Betis loanee Antony and England international Jadon Sancho. All three players are keen to leave and reports from The Athletic indicate Amorim has told Argentina international Alejandro Garnacho he can also leave. Atletico Madrid to revive Garnacho link Diego Simeone is a big fan of his fellow Argentinian and could potentially match United's valuation of £70m for the 20-year-old. Advertisement The Los Rojiblancos hierarchy will hope to drive that price down, due to United's desperation to sell, and the fact Garnacho has been inconsistent since Amorim's arrival in Manchester. Image via Goal / Getty Garnacho spent five years in the Atletico Madrid academy before joining United in 2020 and he could be open to returning his home city if the offer is right. Simeone to rival Real Betis for Antony Alongside his interest in Garnacho, Simeone could also test United's position on Antony, despite Real Betis' desire to keep him in Andalucia. Antony has scored nine goals in all competitions, since joining Manuel Pellegrini's side on loan in January, with his career looking revived. Advertisement Reports from The Independent claim Atletico Madrid are ready to rival Real Betis in the race for the former Ajax attacker with his current price set at £32.5m. A bidding war could nudge that price up and allow United to bring in a fee closer to £40m.

Soccer-Simeone says Atletico have had good season despite lack of a trophy
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - LaLiga - Osasuna v Atletico Madrid - El Sadar Stadium, Pamplona, Spain - May 15, 2025 Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone looks on before the match REUTERS/Vincent West/File Photo (Reuters) - Coach Diego Simeone feels frustrated that Atletico Madrid will end the domestic season without a trophy but said the campaign had still been a positive one for his side. Atletico, third in LaLiga and 12 points behind champions Barcelona, were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Barca and out of the Champions League round of 16 by Real Madrid but still had hopes for the Club World Cup in the United States next month, Simeone said on Saturday. "It's still positive," Simeone told reporters ahead of Sunday's trip to Girona. "We competed very well again until the semi-finals in the cup, we competed very well in the Champions League, one of the best we've competed in. "In (LaLiga) we had aspirations until March; I felt that this season is the closest we've come to competing for the championship. "We're left with the frustration of not having won any titles, which is what the fans like... we're going to the Club World Cup, which will be a new tournament and we hope to respond in the way we want to." Simeone, who has led Atletico to two LaLiga and two Europa League titles, said he was focused on ending the league season well, with a draw at Girona being enough to seal a third-place finish. "We are still thinking about trying to play tomorrow with those who can do the best in the match. We are not focused on giving opportunities for the Club World Cup," he added.

Simeone takes responsibility for Atletico's poor away form
PAMPLONA, Spain: Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone took full responsibility for his team's recent struggles on the road after Osasuna handed them another defeat away from home in LaLiga on Thursday. Atletico fell to a surprise 2-0 loss at Osasuna and have won only one of their last six away fixtures, failing to score in their last three. "I think we played better today than we did against Alaves and Las Palmas, but it's clear the coach isn't finding a way to inspire the players to perform at their best away from home," Simeone told a press conference. "I'm looking inward. It's my responsibility that they can't show off away from home what they do when we play at home." Atletico looked uninspired against Osasuna, who are hoping to return to European competition for the first time in nearly two decades. "It was clear from the start that we had chances to take the lead but we didn't," Simeone added. "They had a set piece that went close, and in the next play, where we could have done more, they took advantage of their height to score. "In the second half, we controlled the game, although we didn't create any dangerous chances like we had in the first. (Ante) Budimir scored a great goal, and we're stuck with this result." - Reuters
