Atletico Madrid got an additional player for the defense from Chelsea, namely César Azpilicueta. Because his contract expired at the end of June, César Azpilicueta's status became a free agent and Atletico took advantage of this opportunity to secure the services of the Chelsea veteran. His contract with Atletico lasted for two seasons and it was a good deal for César Azpilicueta to finish his career at Atletico. Diego Simeone certainly can't wait to give direction to the former Chelsea captain and his experience will certainly provide motivation for other Atletico players.

Looks Atletico Madrid tactician make César Azpilicueta as short term project with short term contract duration and give him two years contract. I think good deal for Atletico Madrid get César Azpilicueta's sign as free agent after his contract over with Chelsea, but its possibility or not for him get regular position with Atletico Madrid after losing minutes playing with Chelsea last season.
Now many clubs are taking advantage of the free transfer of a player, and Atletico Madrid doesn't seem to want to miss the opportunity that exists by bringing in César Azpilicueta to strengthen their squad. Yes, I see that too, that they see it as a short-term project before they find players who can become capital for the long term. So far what they are doing is good enough to bring stability to the team.
Mbappe can be a worthy replacement for Karim Benzema. I think even Mbappe can perform better than Benzema with Madrid. However, it is completely uncertain whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid. Moreover, Joselu has been recruited by Madrid management. On the other hand, Liverpool are interested in spending 300 million for Mbappe. The chances of seeing Mbappe with Real Madrid are diminishing by the day. Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans in each of the past seasons.
Kylian Mbappe has denied wanting to leave PSG this summer, he claims he only rejected a contract extension but wants to complete his already running contract at the club. Real Madrid are the only club showing serious interest and has informed PSG that they are willing to buy Mbappe for £200 million, apart from Real Madrid I am not sure Liverpool will be will want to sell their players to get Mbappe. I think moving to Real Madrid will be a boost to his career, he’s an incredible player and he’s young, PSG may be paying him a lot of money but if he wants to win ballon d’or, Real Madrid is the club he should go.
Looking at the possibilities now, I see a high probability that Mbappe's departure from Paris Saint Germain will occur next season, or in other words after his contract with Paris Saint Germain ends. And from the club's opportunities, I prefer Real Madrid to be the next destination for Mbappe's club. Not without reason, because the reasons are very clear, Real Madrid is Mbappe's dream club, and Real Madrid itself still has an interest in this young player. Mbappe probably thought he would honor his contract with Paris Saint Germain, after the privileges he enjoyed there.
