Saúl: A Colchonero-Flavored Reunion
Saúl Ñíguez, currently at Sevilla, is preparing for another clash against his Atlético de Madrid, a club to which he remains contractually linked and to which he professes great affection.
Despite not being at his best in the Andalusian team, the midfielder from Elche, who was already a substitute at the Metropolitano, will surely want to vindicate himself and show his best version. His loan to Sevilla includes renewal options, although an attractive offer could change his destiny.
Despite an uneven performance, Saúl stands out as one of Sevilla’s most productive attacking players, accumulating six assists and one goal in LaLiga.
Coach García Pimienta left him on the bench in the derby against Betis due to physical discomfort, recalling that in the first leg at the Metropolitano, recently recovered from an injury, he only played the final minutes.
Saúl has repeatedly expressed his affection for Atlético de Madrid, the club where he has developed most of his career. However, his goal is to prove his worth and display the level expected of him, both for the Colchoneros and Sevilla fans.
