Atletico get ahead of Barca and Juve in fight for Carlos Soler

Thre market is open and clubs are looking for reinforcements to begin the 2022-23 season with a strong side. Carlos Soler, due to his contractual situation and his good season at Valencia, has several suitors. 

Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus will have Soler on their list of suitors. Valencia are willing to sell him as Gattuso as reportedly said yes to his signing. 

Of the three teams interested in the attacking midfielder, Atletico Madrid are in the best position to get him, according to 'AS'. And the only club of those previously mentioned who are willing to make Valencia a firm offer this summer are Atletico. 

That said, the offer which Atletico Madrid will make, will not be more than 20 million euros. Atletico believe that is the maximum they will pay for Soler as his contract expires in a year. 

With regards to Barca and Juve, this newspaper explains that the Catalans, despite it being said that Laporta had refused to sign him, are still very interested in him. However, they cannot get him right now because of the poor state of the club's finances. Juventus are keen on waiting until 2023 to get him for free.
