With the two current right-backs in the squad out of favour with the manager, Simeone will need to inject new blood an acquire a top player. Monaco's Djibril Sidibe fits the bill perfectly as a robust, attacking fullback with great defending qualities to replace Šime Vrsaljko, who has failed to convince the manager and cement his spot in the side and Juanfran who is getting more injury-prone as he ages.

Simeone will be looking for a burst of youth in the area and Sidibe is one of the best right-backs in the world. A report from France suggests personal terms have been agreed with the Frenchman, who would be the perfect antidote for a problematic position in the side.

The Frenchman has had a good, consistent last couple of seasons and earned himself a spot in the national team squad for the World Cup. While his club future hangs in the balance, the 25-year-old is on the radar of some top teams in Europe.
