Atletico Madrid reach €45m agreement as Morten Hjulmand flies in to complete transfer from Sporting CP

Nahuel Molina - Creates two chances Molina generated one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Egypt.

Impact Molina registered two chances created, one cross and three tackles across his 73 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt before being replaced by Gonzalo Montiel with his side still 0-2 down, contributing to Argentina's attacking pressure in the first half without being on the pitch to witness the three-goal comeback that followed his withdrawal. The right-back's ability to arrive into dangerous areas and deliver quality crosses into the box remains one of Argentina's key attacking weapons, and his availability heading into the Switzerland quarterfinal will give manager Lionel Scaloni options at right-back after Montiel's decisive impact as his replacement.

Julian Alvarez - Dangerous throughout match Alvarez recorded two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Egypt.

Impact Alvarez registered two shots (one on target) across his 89 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, denied by Mostafa Shobeir's outstanding close-range stop in the first half when he was through on goal. The Atletico Madrid forward worked tirelessly throughout and was central to Argentina's sustained pressure in the second half, with his late pass triggering the decisive sequence that kept the world champions alive heading into the quarterfinals.

Alex Baena - Leads match in crosses Baena had three shots (two on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Monday's 1-0 win against Portugal.

Impact Baena was all over the attack in his 75 minutes of work despite walking away without a goal contribution, notching three shots and a match-leading seven crosses. However, it ended his two-match streak with a goal contribution, earning one goal and an assist at this World Cup. With four straight starts and productive outings in his past few games, he is likely to remain in the starting XI.

Alexander Sorloth - Fades away against Brazil Sorloth recorded three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brazil.

Impact Sorloth was unable to build momentum despite his side's strong display, and he finished without a goal or assist for the fourth time in as many World Cup appearances. The forward started on the right wing but didn't return to the field for the second half, with Oscar Bobb taking his place. It has been a disappointing competition for the Atletico Madrid player due to his lack of goal involvements, given that Norway's offense has developed around their top scorer Erling Haaland. Still, there could be more opportunities for Sorloth to show his talent in the remaining rounds.

Thiago Almada - Starts again Almada recorded no stats in Friday's 3-2 win against Cape Verde.

Impact Almada was back in his starting position on the left flank for Argentina after being rested in the last match, playing 64 minutes. He would notch only a single chance created and 30 passes, a quiet day for the attacker. With three straight substitutions around the same time in all of his starts, it appears unlikely he will play a full match moving forward, as Nicolas Gonzalez enters as a planned substitute in his place.

Nahuel Molina - Whips in two crosses Molina generated two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Friday's 3-2 victory versus Cape Verde.

Impact Molina was kept on the field until halfway through extra time, a solid 104-minute shift. He would only record two crosses and three tackles, not seeing his best match despite all the time on the field. This marks two starts in four games for the defender this World Cup, with Exequiel Palacios and Gonzalo Montiel as other options.

Julian Alvarez - One shot Friday Alvarez had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde.

Impact Alvarez came off the bench once again for Argentina, only starting in one match so far this World Cup. He would get 57 minutes of play and recorded a shot, although it was not on target. It waits to be seen if he will start again this tournament, as Argentina's other forward, Lautaro Martinez, failed to record a shot for the second time in a match this tournament on Friday, although he did score in their group stage finale.

Horatiu Moldovan - Returns to Atletico Madrid Moldovan has returned to Atletico Madrid after his loan spell with Real Oviedo came to an end.

Impact Moldovan's loan at Real Oviedo comes to an end this summer and he heads back to Atletico de Madrid, though everything points to his future lying elsewhere. The 28-year-old Romania international struggled for involvement at Carlos Tartiere due to goalkeeping competition, managing only two La Liga starts across 180 minutes, conceding four goals and making four saves. With Jan Oblak ahead of him at Atletico, a new loan or permanent exit looks the most likely outcome as he seeks the regular football he was unable to find in Asturias.

Carlos Martin - Rejoins Atletico Madrid Martin has returned to Atletico Madrid after his loan spell with Rayo Vallecano came to an end.

Impact Martin's loan at Rayo Vallecano comes to an end this summer and he will head back to Atletico de Madrid, where he is contracted until 2029. The 24-year-old forward had a limited impact during his time in Madrid, starting seven of 11 La Liga appearances and clocking 447 minutes while failing to register a goal or assist. His future for the upcoming season remains open.

Alex Baena - Assists in win over Austria Baena assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Thursday's 3-0 win versus Austria.

Impact Baena delivered an assist in Spain's second goal with a pinpoint cross that was nodded home by Pedro Porro from close range. Baena has been starting at left wing due to the absences of Nico Williams (groin) and Yeremi Pino (collarbone), but he's been delivering strong performances time and time again. In three starts, Baena has one goal, one assist, five shots, three chances created, 20 crosses and 14 corners taken.

Alexander Sorloth - Quiet in win Sorloth registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Sorloth didn't get much done before being subbed off during Tuesday's win. The result was still a nice one, but on the whole it was a match to forget for Sorloth. He did create a pair of chances but was let down by the finishing of the team around him. Sorloth will need to be more efficient against Brazil next time out.

Grimaldo previously spent seven and a half seasons at Benfica after progressing through Barcelona's academy, making 303 appearances and winning four league titles along with three Portuguese Super Cups, a domestic cup and a league cup.
