Saúl: A Rojiblanco Future or an Emotional Return?
Saúl Ñíguez returns to Atlético de Madrid after his loan spell at Sevilla FC, a period marked by physical misfortunes and a high salary that make his continuity at the Sevillian club difficult.
Despite a serious hamstring injury that kept him off the field, Saúl demonstrated his commitment by playing infiltrated and playing 24 LaLiga matches, leaving six assists and one goal in his record. His leadership was recognized by being chosen as one of the team’s captains.
Although his return to the Metropolitano is imminent, the club is looking for a new destination for the midfielder, whose contract expires in 2026. Despite Atlético de Madrid assuming a significant portion of his salary during the loan, the idea is to find a solution that benefits all parties.
In recent weeks, rumors have emerged about the interest of Turkish clubs in the player. However, a more attractive option from a sentimental point of view has gained strength: Elche CF, the club where Saúl took his first steps as a footballer.
The Elche team is currently in the fight for promotion to the First Division, which could mean an exciting return for the youth player. Saúl’s future is uncertain, but with options that could revitalize his career and provide him with new opportunities.
