Midfield: Gabi, Koke, Nani, Santi Cazorla
Keeping hold of star youngster Koke will be a big priority for Atletico this summer, and it is looking possible that they may do so as Barcelona switch their focus to Sevilla’s Ivan Rakitic in that position, while other suitors Manchester United prioritise a move for Bayern Munich playmaker Toni Kroos. Changes could be made on the flanks, however, with Turkish winger Arda Turan being linked with a move to Barcelona, among others, and with Arsenal star Santi Cazorla being touted as a possible replacement. The Spaniard is reportedly keen on a return to La Liga after two years at the Emirates Stadium and could be a fine addition to Simeone’s squad after impressing with his performances in the Premier League. On the other side, United flop Nani is also being linked with a move to the Vicente Calderon as part of a possible swap deal involving Brazilian defender Miranda, and the Portuguese attacker could benefit from a change of clubs after a difficult few seasons at Old Trafford.
