According to Marca, Atlético Madrid is attempting to sign left-back Hugo Bueno on loan from Wolves.

With João David set to undergo a medical examination before joining, and as a defensive reinforcement to strengthen the left-back position alongside Grimaldo, Mateu Alemany is preparing to add another left-back to the squad on the final day of the transfer window. Although Salinas has been mentioned throughout the summer, the real "alternative" is Hugo Bueno.

Bueno has developed at Wolves since joining from Arouca in 2019 at age 17. The left-back from Vigo is now a leading candidate to compete with Grimaldo for the position. Meanwhile, Racing Santander is holding firm on Salinas's €15 million release clause, making Hugo Bueno's loan move more aligned with Atlético's financial situation.

In fact, despite the Spanish left-back's contract with Wolves not expiring until 2028, Atlético is leveraging the English club's relegation to the Championship to push through a loan deal. For Alemany, this move is expected to strengthen the defense while completing recruitment without relying on Giménez and Lemar departures.

Champions League Experience

Bueno developed in the Premier League, making 78 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 3 assists, but he has never played in Spanish football. At 23 years old, he has accumulated impressive experience: two years ago, he made his Champions League debut during a loan spell at Feyenoord, where he played alongside Hancko on the left flank; he has also made 8 appearances for Spain U21. If Atlético ultimately completes this deal, both defenders will likely provide options in the final hours of the transfer window.
