Atletico Madrid is notably lacking a well-established right-back. Diego Simeone is limited to Nahuel Molina and Marcos Llorente in this position. Although Llorente is primarily a midfielder, the Argentine coach has adapted him into a full-back. It appears likely that the Spanish club will acquire a new right-back once the summer transfer window opens.
As reported by Ekrem Konur on social media, Atletico Madrid might be heading to France for their next signing. The Spanish capital’s scouts have identified Strasbourg‘s right-back, Guela Doue, as a potential target. The 22-year-old has made significant strides in recent months, attracting attention from the La Liga team. Interestingly, he is the older brother of Paris Saint-Germain’s star, Desire Doue, who plays as a winger.
Guela Doue has been successfully representing Strasbourg since July 2024, following his 6 million euro transfer from Stade Rennes, where he began his career. The 187 cm-tall player has made 29 appearances, scored 1 goal, and provided 1 assist for his current team.
The website “Transfermarkt” values the five-time Ivory Coast national team player at 12 million euros.
