“Atlético says goodbye to the number 5”
Atlético de Madrid has decided to close the chapter of signings for the number 5 position. Despite pursuing players like Verratti or Hojbjerg throughout the summer, the lack of economic income has been decisive for the director of football, Andrea Berta, not being able to reinforce that position.
According to the roadmap outlined by Gil Marín and Simeone, it was necessary for at least two departures to increase the club’s economic muscle, but this has not happened. Faced with this situation, Atlético has decided to bet on the growth of a youth academy player, Barrios, who has surprisingly become the number 5.

“Zahavi Delivers on His ‘Promise’ to Carrasco Two Years Later”
. In a surprising twist in Yannick Carrasco’s career, his agent Pini Zahavi finally fulfilled the promise that convinced the Belgian to join his representation two years ago. The promise was to secure him one last lucrative contract now that Carrasco is in the twilight of his career.
After a tumultuous stint in China, Carrasco returned to Atlético Madrid with hopes of regaining his best form. Zahavi seized this opportunity to seek a salary increase, which ironically marked the beginning of the end of his relationship with the red and white club..
Atlético claimed to have offered a 25% salary increase to Carrasco, but the player was dissatisfied and felt relegated in the team’s hierarchy. This disagreement marked the start of Carrasco’s decline at Atlético Madrid.

Amidst anticipation and expectation, Atlético Madrid is gearing up to welcome back José María Giménez after his tibia injury sidelined him for over a month. The defender will rejoin the team next week, just in time for the clash at Mestalla.
However, the absence of several international players has prompted coach Simeone to make interesting tactical adjustments. Youngster Riquelme is emerging as an option to fill the left-back role, covering for the void left by Carrasco.
Despite having only eight outfield players available, Simeone and his technical team are working on finding solutions. Koke’s recovery from his hamstring injury is progressing slower than expected, likely meaning his return is scheduled for the Champions League.

However, his absence from the Spanish national team since the Qatar World Cup has raised alarm bells. Despite starting the season irregularly, he has managed to score two goals in three appearances in the current championship.
His versatility on the field, including playing as a right-back, has been both a blessing and a curse for him. Moreover, competition at Atletico Madrid with players like Saul, Lemar, and Barrios threatens to relegate him to a secondary role.
In the offices, his value has decreased, and he is no longer part of the untouchable group. Although no offer has been confirmed, his name was mentioned in the search for club revenues. Llorente faces a crucial moment in his career, and the break seems to be an opportunity to reinvent himself.

In yet another twist in the transfer saga, Nahuel Molina, the talented right-back of Atlético Madrid, once again became the object of desire for Barcelona. However, despite initial efforts and explorations by the Catalan club, Barcelona’s economic reality thwarted any attempts at acquisition.
Molina’s history with Barcelona dates back to his childhood when he was recruited by Barcelona’s school in Buenos Aires. Over the years, his name has been linked to the Blaugrana on multiple occasions, but this time, Barcelona’s financial difficulties proved an insurmountable obstacle.
Despite his impressive performance last season, where he became a fundamental pillar in Diego Simeone’s scheme, Barcelona couldn’t compete financially with Atlético Madrid, who ultimately secured Molina’s services. The right-back with a goal-scoring instinct and unique playmaking vision will continue to don the red and white colors, leaving behind Barcelona’s hopes.

“The Unwanted Offers from Arabia
In the world of football, players and coaches have received tempting offers from Saudi Arabia, most of which have been turned down. While some waited in anticipation, the majority did not see these opportunities materialize.
The impact of Saudi ‘petrodollars’ on football is undeniable, even attracting high-profile figures. Even lesser-known players like Gabri Veiga have considered the possibility of seeking fortune abroad and returning to the elite later..
However, there is a more questionable side to this story: the alleged ‘utilization’ of these offers to secure improved contracts or increase their market value. This phenomenon has occurred across numerous teams, but at Atlético Madrid, cases like Hermoso, Llorente, or Saúl stand out.
Despite the rumors, none of them received a concrete offer from Saudi Arabia.. It’s curious that one of the most debated players, Rodrigo De Paul, was the only one to have a lucrative proposal on the table, which he declined to continue wearing the red and white jersey.
Álvaro Morata, who has demonstrated his love for Atlético, also turned down tempting offers from other European giants. This underscores the significance of Diego Simeone, who remains the team’s mainstay.. Despite the pursuit of stylish football, history shows that even renowned coaches like Quique Setién and teams like Villarreal are not exempt from the ups and downs of football, with Setién becoming the first casualty of the season in La Liga. This situation raises questions about the harsh reality faced by coaches in elite teams.

With 154 goals in his career, Morata is a sought-after striker in the European market, but his priority remains Atlético Madrid.

Coach Tevenet, responsible for the promotion of the reserve team from Tercera Federación to Primera in two years, sees his management marred by setbacks against Málaga and Ceuta. Furthermore, Atlético B’s impressive home records, with only three defeats in 40 previous matches, have been tarnished.

“Competition rejects appeal for Morata’s expulsion”
The Competition Committee has rejected Atlético de Madrid’s appeal to overturn Álvaro Morata’s second yellow card in the match against Osasuna. As a result, the Madrid striker will serve a one-match suspension and will not be available for the game against Cádiz.
Morata, the team’s top scorer with five goals, will be a significant absence for Simeone’s side. His place could be filled by Correa, who has returned to training after recovering from a knee injury. Despite considering the expulsion unfair, Atlético will have to do without Morata until the next league match against Real Sociedad. However, he will be eligible to play in the Champions League clash against Feyenoord.

“Atlético will appeal Morata’s second yellow card”
Atlético de Madrid has decided to appeal Álvaro Morata’s second yellow card received during the match against Osasuna, as they believe the expulsion was unfair. The club argues that Morata suffered an aggression from Chimy Ávila, which provoked his reaction.
With this appeal, Atlético hopes that Morata can play in the next match against Cádiz, as they currently only have Griezmann as a center forward due to the injuries of Memphis and Correa.

The article mentions a non-existent foul in Osasuna’s goal and criticizes the coach’s expulsion.
