A page turns to Atlético de Madrid, failing to end a chapter. After a long reflection, Antoine Griezmann finally extended his contract until 2027. Other players in the workforce did not have this chance like Axel Witsel, Reinildo and Cesar Azpilicueta. Rodrigo Riquelme was transferred to Betis. Angel Correa left to join the tigers in Mexico. Another Argentinian could also cross the Atlantic since Rodrigo de Paul is invited at the start.
One year before his end of the contract, the world champion is courted by Inter Miami which is more. He would find his friend there and the one he is the watchdog in selection: Leo Messi. The operation would be around 15 M €. It is still too little to reshape the workforce in depth, even if offers are hoped, not to say expected, concerning Nahuel Molina and Samuel Lino. After ASthey appeal to England and Italy. The different files must accelerate.
No one is intransferable
In the eyes of Diego Simeone, there are not many untouchables. Only Julián Alvarez, Pablo Barrios, Giuliano Simeone and Marcos Llorente are part of this privileged list. Above all, the capital's club would like to get rid of players whose contracts weigh heavy when they no longer play. Thomas Lemar has disappeared (8 appearances this season only). Saúl ñíguez was loaned to Seville FC, which did not wish to keep it in a lasting way. They still have two years and one year of contract respectively.
Other elements have been the subject of an approach without this being very concrete. Saudi Arabia looked at José Maria Gimenez, who did not follow up, preferring to stay at Atlético. Javi Galan will not be retained in the event of an interesting offer even if his performance has given satisfaction. Finally, Conor Gallagher has not yet managed to express all his potential since his arrival a year ago. If a proposal greater than € 40 million coming from the Premier League reaches the club's offices, it will be studied.
