Atletico Madrid's overhaul nears completion LaLiga Numerous new faces

Following the presentations of Mario Hermoso and Kieran Trippier, Atletico Madrid's overhaul appears to be nearing its completion.

After a number of key players departed, the club have reacted by bringing in seven new faces, which has turned disappointment into excitement.

Felipe, Lodi, Marcos Llorente, Hector Herrera, Joao Felix, Trippier and Hermoso have all come in, while other targets such as James Rodriguez remain on the agenda.

Rodri has joined Manchester City and Marcos Llorente has arrived in his place, while Felipe, Lodi, Hermoso and Trippier have been drafted in to replace Diego Godin, Filipe Luis, Lucas Hernandez and Juanfran. Meanwhile, young Joao Felix is faced with the challenge of filling Antoine Griezmann's boots.

The debate among many Atletico Madrid fans is over what aspirations the club should realistically hold going into the new season.

The 2018/19 campaign saw them finish second in LaLiga Santander behind Barcelona, but above rivals Real Madrid.

Their Champions League journey ended prematurely in the Round of 16 after a 3-0 second-leg defeat to Juventus while they suffered the same fate in the Copa del Rey against Girona.

Now, despite a number of important first-team players departing, those that have arrived have filled the club with optimism that silverware could, once again, return to Atletico Madrid.
