Atlético de Madrid has managed to get rid of two of its main problems in this summer’s transfer market.

Saúl, another player with a high salary and a decreasing role, has been loaned to Sevilla, where he is expected to rediscover his best form. These departures, along with those of Hermoso, Morata, Memphis and Savic, have allowed the club to reduce its wage bill and begin a new cycle with greater peace of mind.

Nahuel Molina finds his oasis in the Albiceleste

Nahuel Molina, who used to be a regular starter for Atlético, has seen a decrease in his playing time this season. The full-back has only played 37 minutes against Villarreal and 45 against Espanyol. However, in the Argentine national team, he has played the entire match against Chile.

This has been a relief for him, as he has lost confidence and playing time at Atlético. The end of last season left doubts about his performance and the competition for the position is clearly won by Marcos Llorente.

Coach Diego Simeone has asked Nahuel to improve and show his quality as a world champion.

On Tuesday, he will have a new opportunity in Colombia before returning to Madrid.
