Hugo Bueno appears on Atletico's agenda to strengthen the left side

Atlético de Madrid

The name of the Vigo player is gaining ground because the deal for Jorge Salinas has not been unblocked. Racing maintains its position and points to a clause close to 16 million euros, a figure the rojiblanco club does not intend to reach.

As Marca reports, Bueno is the Atlético de Madrid option kept up its sleeve to strengthen the left-back before the window closes. The player belongs to the Wolverhampton, a team that has just been relegated to the Championship, and he could arrive at the Metropolitano on loan to fit better with LaLiga's financial constraints.

The club is also working on other deals. In attack, Jonathan David is the chosen one to bolster the frontline, while up to four players are earmarked to leave in this final stretch of the window.

The profile of Hugo Bueno

Bueno, an Spain Under-21 international, is 23 years old and moved to England while still a youngster. There, he joined the Wolverhampton academy and worked his way up to the first team, where he has played 91 matches, with two goals and three assists.

He also spent time at Feyenoord on loan two seasons ago. In the Dutch side, he played 30 games and provided four assists, although he did not score any goals.

Born in Vigo, the full-back is under contract with Wolverhampton until 2028. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is 12 million euros, a scenario that at the Metropolitano see as a possible opportunity to strengthen the left flank without driving up the economic cost too much or the impact on Financial Fair Play.
