Deportivo are pushing to add Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gim\u00e9nez before the deadline, with the Atl\u00e9tico Madrid centre-back not training with the group this morning as he awaits an exit. The Galicians are negotiating with the player and Atl\u00e9tico to bring leadership to their LaLiga<\/a> defence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The offer is firm and Deportivo are seeking to free salary margin by accelerating departures. AS understands that Atl\u00e9tico will extend Gim\u00e9nez\u2019s contract by one year and assume part of his wages to facilitate a loan to Riazor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sevilla and Valencia had Gim\u00e9nez on their lists for deadline day but, mainly for economic reasons, have stepped away. Deportivo, with stable finances, have worked on a salary-sharing formula acceptable to Atl\u00e9tico. The move envisaged is a loan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gim\u00e9nez\u2019s departure would allow Atl\u00e9tico to reinforce out wide, with Tagliafico initially in mind. After Pati\u00f1o\u2019s exit, Deportivo already have a vacant squad slot. Sporting director Fernando Soriano is working to end Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel\u2019s contract, and exits are also being explored for academy defender Dani Barcia and goalkeeper Eric Puerto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Adama Traor\u00e9 has now been registered in LaLiga<\/a>. He arrived last week and trained under Antonio Hidalgo, but was not ready to face Valencia and was left out. His shirt number is yet to be confirmed, with 17 available and, after Pati\u00f1o\u2019s departure, 6 also free, while potential moves for Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel and Barcia would open 20 and 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
