According to sources close to the deal, Atletico will not be signing Gabriel Veiga from Porto after all. The midfielder had been heavily linked throughout the window, but the deal is now dead in the water. Reasons for the collapse remain unclear, though it marks a blow to Atletico's plans to bolster their squad. The proposed transfer is no longer on the table, and with no competing interest, the player is expected to stay where he is. So far this season, Atletico are steady at both ends (1.73 goals scored per game, 0.77 goals conceded per game). The role for Gabriel Veiga would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Porto are said to be exploring Terem Moffi, Seko Fofana and James John McAtee with Atletico likewise connected to Omar Marmoush, Davide Frattesi and Alejandro Garnacho.
