Saúl Ñíguez: Searching for New Horizons
Atlético de Madrid’s transfer market is expected to be busy, with the need to find destinations for players who are not in Cholo Simeone’s plans. A prominent case is that of Saúl Ñíguez, one of the highest-paid players in the Colchoneros squad, earning 14 million gross per season.
The sports management, led by Carlos Bucero, prioritizes finding a solution for the player. Saúl’s loan at Sevilla is coming to an end, and his continuity in the Andalusian club is not foreseen under the current conditions.
Although Sevilla assumed part of his salary, a transfer seems unfeasible unless Saúl obtains a free transfer and significantly reduces his salary. At this moment, all options are on the table, except for staying at Atlético, with whom he has a contract until 2026.
A solution is sought that benefits all parties, including a departure from the club under favorable conditions. Galatasaray of Turkey is emerging as a strong candidate to sign the player, valuing his experience, tactical versatility, and adaptability.
At 30 years old, Saúl is looking for a new project where he can regain prominence, considering proposals that take him further and further away from Spain. Saúl’s future points to new horizons, where he can prove his worth and continue to add success to his career.
