According to Spanish newspaper AS, Atletico Madrid faces a non-EU player quota restriction when signing two top players from the Premier League. However, it seems that the problem can be solved.
Argentine player Alvarez and English player Gallagher are both non-EU players. Atletico Madrid currently has two non-EU players: Nahuel Molina and Samuel Lino, leaving only one non-EU spot available.
However, Alvarez holds Italian citizenship, allowing him to bypass the non-EU player quota restriction. Gallagher, on the other hand, can solve the issue by applying for Irish citizenship. His father is Irish, making him eligible to apply for an Irish passport.
Furthermore, Atletico Madrid can also free up a non-EU spot by selling or loaning players.
AS reports that Atletico Madrid can resolve the non-EU player quota issue through various means, allowing them to successfully sign Alvarez and Gallagher.
