Atletico Madrid guaranteed a reinforcement for 2020-21

11 matchdays are left in the 2019-20 season, but clubs have to also think about next season. At the Wanda they have now got down to work and they have apparently decided to bring a player back. 

According to 'AS', Atletico have apparently told Gremio that they will call Caio Henrique back. The player is on loan at the Brazilian club until June. 

Gremio can forget about counting on Caio Henrique beyond June. Atletico will welcome him back with open arms. 

Caio Henrique is reportedly delighted about the idea of playing at the Wanda. This media outlet says that the footballer was clear that his priority was to play for Atletico Madrid. 

'AS' reports that there was a clause in the loan deal which said that the Spanish side could call back Caio Henrique at any time without having to pay anything. 

Atletico are thinking of him as a replacement for Renan Lodi, 'Los Colchoneros' only left-back. Simeone has had a problem in that area when the Brazilian was injured. That is why they have decided to get Caio Henrique.

In any case, it will be Simeone who decides. If he fits in at the club, Atletico will keep him. If not, they will look for a new club for him. They are aware that the versatile player will not be short of offers. The Brazilian left-back can also play as a midfielder.
