Gomis: End of the Road at Atlético?
Antonio Gomis, Atlético de Madrid’s third goalkeeper for the past two seasons, may be living his last days as a Colchonero player. Although Simeone values having him in the squad, the lack of playing time is a reality.
His opportunities were limited to international breaks, where he strengthened the reserve team. This season he has played three games with Atlético de Madrid B, while last season he played six.
However, in this last break, Gomis stayed working with the first team, missing the opportunity to play with the reserve team in a historic match at the Metropolitano. This decision may be related to the goalkeeper’s rejection of the renewal offer presented by the club in December.
Gomis already knows what it’s like to play with the first team. In the 22-23 season, he played a few minutes against Villarreal due to an injury to Grbic, who in turn was replacing Oblak. Previously, he debuted with the first team as a field player in a Jesús Gil y Gil Memorial against Numancia, showing his versatility.
Now, with several Second Division teams interested in signing him, Gomis’s future seems far from Atlético. Changes are coming in the Rojiblanca goal and Gomis may be looking for new horizons where he can have more prominence.
