Lino: Last Chance to Shine at Atleti
Samuel Lino, the Brazilian winger, is facing a crucial moment in his career at Atlético de Madrid. After a promising past season, his performance has decreased, raising doubts about his future at the club.
The player, whose market value has decreased, has seen his prominence in the team reduced, going from being a key player to occupying a less relevant place in Simeone’s rotation. With a contract until 2027, Lino is at a crossroads.
Competition on the left wing is high, and the club could look for reinforcements in that position, which could affect his continuity. However, the Brazilian has an opportunity to reverse the situation in the upcoming matches and during the Club World Cup.
Although he has contributed with six assists, his four goals this season are below the expectations generated by his previous performance. The player must prove his worth and convince Cholo that he deserves a place in the Rojiblanco project.
Several clubs, both in Spain and in the Premier League, have shown interest in his situation, but Lino has the last word. His priority remains to succeed at Atleti, the club he arrived at with enthusiasm and where he seeks to establish himself as an important player.
