Despite being one of the transferable players at Atlético de Madrid, Lemar has left a message on his social media in which he thanks the support received and looks to the future at the Metropolitano.
Although he will be one of the names that will mark the Atlético market this summer due to his transferable condition, only the fulfillment of the contract that binds him to the red and white club until 2027 passes through Lemar’s head.

“The reasons why Atlético de Madrid couldn’t fight for titles”
Atlético de Madrid had a difficult season due to several factors. In defense, the team made mistakes and suffered important injuries, which prevented them from maintaining their level in key matches.
Goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who has won five Zamora trophies, could not become the only goalkeeper to win six awards for the least scored goalkeeper in LaLiga. The defense failed at decisive moments, such as in the fight for the second place in Montilivi, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.
In attack, the pair of forwards Griezmann and Memphis could not maintain their effectiveness due to injuries and lack of continuity. Griezmann’s ankle injury caused him to miss important matches and the team suffered in his absence. In addition, the team could not compete away from the Metropolitano, which prevented them from following the Real Madrid’s lead in LaLiga. The lack of accuracy in the opponent’s goal was also a key factor in Atlético de Madrid’s season.

Despite the fact that the player has a contract in force until 2028, a salary far above what is handled at the Metropolitano, and is a luxury substitute for Halland for Guardiola, Atlético hopes to seduce him with the promise of greater prominence on the field. The first approaches have already been made through his teammates in the national team, who have conveyed the high esteem he inspires in the sports management and the rest of the club’s bodies. However, the operation is not simple, especially when Manchester City enters the equation.

“Atlético Madrid seeks Julián Álvarez”
Atlético Madrid has shown interest in Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, who currently plays for Manchester City. Although there have been no formal conversations between the two clubs, Atlético has followed a similar path in the past to sign seemingly unattainable players, such as David Villa and Luis Suárez from Barcelona, and Joao Félix from Benfica.
A loan seems to be the only possible formula for Álvarez’s arrival, as Atlético is not willing to pay a transfer fee close to 100 million euros. Álvarez’s teammates in the Argentine national team, such as De Paul, Molina and Correa, could help facilitate the operation.

Arthur Vermeeren, midfielder of Atlético de Madrid, has shown his quality with the Belgian national team in the Eurocup. Despite having few opportunities with the red and white team, coach Domenico Tedesco has trusted him and he has played more with his country than with his club.
Vermeeren was one of the standouts in Belgium’s 2-0 win over Montenegro, leading his team and filtering passes into dangerous areas. Atlético de Madrid believes that this performance is just the beginning of a player who is part of the sports planning for next season.
The Belgian midfielder has shown his personality and his ability to compete with players of the stature of Koke, Rodrigo de Paul or Barrios.

“Atlético de Madrid
Atlético de Madrid is facing a difficult situation due to the excess in the salary expenditure, which is set at 300 million euros. This is due to the salary increases of players such as Oblak, Koke, Saúl and Marcos Llorente in recent years to prevent their departure to other clubs.

Therefore, the aim is to reduce the high salaries and opt for signings such as Vermeeren, whose annual amortization is less than that of a player like Saúl. The goal is to maintain the team’s high performance without exceeding the salary cap.

Negotiations have already begun between both clubs, but Atlético will not pay the 60 million euros of the player’s release clause. The offer from the Madrid team will be around 30 million euros, a figure that could include the loan of Javi Galán or the appearance of another Atlético player that could fit the needs of the Realists.

Although he has been told that he is not counted on, Saúl has dug his heels in and refused to leave Atlético. His high salary and past experiences make it possible for the player to cling to what was signed, as feared by the club.

Atlético de Madrid is interested in signing Mikel Merino, a Real Sociedad player who has not yet renewed his contract. Although Ederson remains the main target for the 5 position, Merino could be compatible with the Brazilian and become the cherry on top of the midfield alongside Koke, De Paul, and Barrios.
The player already knows that Atlético wants him and does not see arriving at the Metropolitano to continue playing in the Champions League in a bad light. The club is focused on departures, but in the offices, work continues in parallel on other positions such as midfield.
Real Sociedad practically considers Merino lost, so Aperribay is in favor of sitting down to negotiate a transfer before allowing the player to leave for free next summer. In the Metropolitano, they are already focusing on a possible arrival of the Spanish international, taking the lead over a Barcelona also attentive to his situation.

“Le Normand, Hancko and Mikel Merino
Despite the Eurocup, Atlético de Madrid has the advantage of the will of the players to sign Le Normand, David Hancko and Mikel Merino. Although there will be negotiations with Real Sociedad and Feyenoord, the desire of the three to wear the red and white is a winning card.
Le Normand is the first to arrive and the agreement with Real is on track. The determination of the players is key for Atlético not to fear an offensive from the Premier. The possibility of signing Mikel Merino also seduces Atlético, as the Navarrese is convinced to close his stage in Real.
Feyenoord would also be open to selling Hancko, who has already fallen in love with Atlético since the double confrontation in the Champions League last season. The Slovak is a footballer with a very cholista profile, as he can play in both positions of the left flank of the defense and lives each action of a match as if it were the last of his life.

Roma has shown interest in the player, but Atlético is not willing to sell him for less than 25 million euros.
Riquelme has a market for his youth, projection and talent, and it is expected that the summer will be long in terms of offers. Atlético has as a priority to lighten its payroll, but it does not intend to sell Riquelme at this time.

Agustín Giay, one of the latest jewels of Argentine football, is heading towards Brazil after the entry of Palmeiras, the most powerful economic club in South America.
Although Atlético and half of Europe were following Giay with special attention, the arrival of the Brazilian giant almost definitively distances the young Argentine promise from Atlético.
The financial muscle of Palmeiras after the millionaire sales of its stars is presented as decisive to eliminate Atlético and the rest of the competitors from the race for Giay. With Atlético immersed in obtaining exits that reduce their wage bill, the offer presented by Palmeiras practically knocks them out of the fight for Giay, as it amounts to 9 million dollars (about 8.5 million euros), which they cannot reach at the Metropolitano.

After two loans to Chelsea and Barcelona, the red-and-white club is looking for a convincing offer to break the bond that unites them until 2029. The Eurocup could be an opportunity for Joao Félix to arouse the interest of one of the great teams in Europe, but the Premier League is the one with the most options to face an operation of 100 kilos. In case of not getting a transfer, the plan B would be a new loan to Barcelona, but other resources will be exhausted before reaching that situation.

“The uncertain future of Joao Félix at Atlético de Madrid”
Atlético de Madrid’s plan to sell Joao Félix for 60 million euros seems to be in danger, as the Portuguese player has not had any minutes in the Eurocup and has seen how other attackers from his team have taken away his protagonism.
Joao Félix’s situation at Atlético, where he still has a contract until 2029, seems to be turning into a soap opera again after the club has unsuccessfully tried to find a buyer for the player.
Unless Joao Félix starts to change his situation of ostracism in Portugal’s next match against Georgia, the transfer that Atlético wanted to give a final touch to the player’s journey as a rojiblanco seems like a utopia. The only viable option at the moment seems to be a loan to Barcelona, but it would only be considered if there is no other solution.

“Ederson, Atletico’s target, does not play in Brazil’s Copa America debut”
Ederson Silva is one of Atletico’s main targets to strengthen the midfield, but his possible arrival is being worked on slowly due to the 60 million euros requested by the Italian team for the Brazilian.
In Brazil’s debut against Costa Rica, the player did not get any minutes, which could be a blessing for Atletico, as a great performance in such a followed tournament as the Copa America could increase the price of the coveted player.
The 4-2-3-1 used by the Brazilian coach did not include Ederson among the first four options in midfield. Now it remains to be seen what happens with the Brazilian team in the remaining two games of the group to see if this Copa America devalues a player whose value was boosted by a European club competition, the Europa League, up to 60 million.

“Atletico Madrid resist selling Samu Omorodion for less than a market-out-of-the-box offer”
Chelsea’s interest in Atletico Madrid’s striker, Samu Omorodion, has sparked a negotiation that could take the young player to Stamford Bridge. Although West Ham made an offer for the player, Atletico rejected it as insufficient.
Chelsea also made an offer of 40 million euros, but the red-and-whites rejected it, arguing that the player is important for Simeone’s team. However, if Chelsea increases its offer, Atletico could accept a market-out-of-the-box offer. Samu’s departure could help finance Atletico’s incoming signings, such as Le Normand, Hancko and Mikel Merino.

“Oblak and Morata shine in Euros, while Joao Felix and other Atlético players disappoint”
The first phase of the Euros has left lights and shadows for Atlético de Madrid players. Jan Oblak and Álvaro Morata have been the positive faces, with outstanding performances in their respective national teams.
On the other hand, Joao Félix has gone unnoticed and has not been able to revalue his image. Griezmann has had a discreet tournament, while Memphis has been important in the Netherlands before facing Romania with Moldovan, who has been relegated to the bench.

“Correa, a decade at Atlético and with the door open for a possible departure”
The Argentine Ángel Correa celebrates a decade at Atlético de Madrid this summer. Although he missed his first year due to heart surgery, he has become one of Diego Simeone’s pretorians.
During these years, the club has opened the exit doors on several occasions, such as in 2019 with Milan and a few months ago with an offer from Arabia. However, Correa has continued to be important for Simeone and Atlético would be willing to consider a proposal of around 25 million euros if a significant offer arrives. The forward does not rule out any options in the coming months, although he is happy in Madrid and feels fully identified with Atlético.

“Atlético and Fenerbahce close to agreement for Soyuncu”
The future of Çaglar Soyuncu is far from the Cívitas Metropolitano. The Turkish player is very close to becoming a new player for Fenerbahce, a team with which Atlético de Madrid has a preliminary agreement.
The central defender will return to his country in an operation that would reach eight million euros. Soyuncu arrived at Atlético last summer as a free agent, but was unlucky and paid dearly for his poor performance against Athletic Bilbao and his expulsion against Sevilla.
As a rojiblanco, he only played six games in LaLiga, two in the Champions League and one in the Copa del Rey. With his departure, Atlético sees the third central defender leave the squad after the departures of Mario Hermoso and Gabriel Paulista on June 30.

“Azpilicueta renews with Atlético de Madrid”
César Azpilicueta, 34, has renewed his contract with Atlético de Madrid to play his second season as a rojiblanco. The Navarrese has become one of the leaders of the dressing room and has shown his versatility playing both central defender and full-back on both sides of the Atlético defence.
Despite suffering a meniscus injury at the beginning of the year, Azpilicueta has more than met the conditions set for his renewal. His experience and ability to read the game have been key for the coaching staff, who have turned to him in important moments of the season such as the Dortmund clash against Borussia.
