A Quiet Winter Market for Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid experienced a notably quiet winter market, with no significant arrivals or departures. The sports management tried to find an exit for Thomas Lemar, but no interesting offers arrived, so the Frenchman remains on the squad.
There were also no reinforcements, reflecting the team’s stability after a €190 million investment last summer. Simeone has 23 players at his disposal and has chosen to rotate them to maintain their physical performance.
Soon, the future of iconic players like Griezmann and Koke will be decided. Meanwhile, the club is preparing for a more significant squad overhaul in the summer. This ‘boredom’ reflects that things are working well under Simeone’s leadership.
