Atlético Madrid has bolstered their squad with the loan signing of Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso from Atalanta for the 2024/25 season. The addition of Musso strengthens the club’s Argentine connection, as he becomes the sixth player from Argentina currently playing under the management of former Argentina international Diego Simeone.
Musso, known for his sharp reflexes and commanding presence in goal, joins an Atlético side that has a rich history of Argentine influence, particularly under Simeone’s leadership. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who has made a name for himself in Serie A with his consistent performances for Atalanta, will bring depth and competition to the goalkeeping department at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Diego Simeone, a legend in both Argentine and European football, has always shown a preference for bringing in players from his homeland. The arrival of Musso further cements this trend, adding to the Argentine core that has become a hallmark of Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.
With Musso joining the ranks, Atlético Madrid now boasts a total of six Argentine players, including key figures such as Ángel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul, and Nahuel Molina. This strong Argentine presence has been instrumental in maintaining the club’s competitive edge in La Liga and on the European stage.

This moves highlights Atlético Madrid’s continued strategy of blending top talent from Argentina with their existing squad, creating a team that reflects the tenacity and spirit synonymous with Argentine football.
