just spent €35 million to strengthen their midfield this summer by signing
Rodrigo de Paul
from Udinese.
After last season’s impressive La Liga success for Los Rojiblancos, they needed to put together a successful title defense and because of that, signing the Argentine was a vital piece for Diego Simeone’s plan.
At first, it seemed impossible for Atletico Madrid to sign de Paul as they are currently facing financial issues, which see them in more than €1 billion in debt and dangerously close to their La Liga salary cap.
But according to
Marca, they were able to pull it off as the report confirmed that de Paul, who won Copa América this summer, has already been registered with La Liga.
It confirmed that de Paul has been registered since August 2 and therefore he could be available for their league opener against Celta Vigo at Balaídos on Sunday.
