The truth is that the Atlético de Madrid It has never been characterized by being a selling team. It has always been difficult for him to get rid of his great stars, although in many cases he has no choice but to do so. It happened in his day with Fernando Torres or the 'Kun Aguero. But the truth is that this has changed after the eight seasons the club has been competing in the Champions League. Now if someone asks about a mattress star they know that they have to pay the clause because they are not going to negotiate….
So in the mattress entity they are very calm because of the alleged interest of several teams in several of their players. All of them are referred to the termination clause. As he Chelsea As the Manchester United closely follow Jan Oblak; Arsenal walks weeks after the steps of Thomas; Manchester United have long dreamed of Saul… Well, in principle everything indicates that this summer everyone will stay in the Metropolitan.
Last season three key footballers at Atlético de Madrid left and their target club had to pay the termination clause. This happened in the cases of Griezmann, Lucas Hernández and Rodrigo Hernández. Three players for whom the mattresses raised 270 million euros and that together with the departures of players and veterans such as the case of Godín, Juanfran AND Philip They have forced the club into a transition campaign with which some sectors have not had much patience.
Griezmann went to Barcelona for 120 million euros. A tough negotiation in which the mattress makers denounced the Catalans to demand more money from them. This campaign has not finished contributing in Can Barça everything that was expected of him.
For its part, the club received Lucas Hernández 80 million euros from Bayern Munich. A disproportionate figure for a defender who has a great future but who has not finished triumphing in Germany.
maybe Rodrigo Hernández It has been the best role has had of the three. The mattress squad player left to play under Guardiola, a coach with ideas more in keeping with his football than Cholo. 70 million euros paid by Manchester City for their services.
Although they have not been the only players in recent times who have left Atlético de Madrid through its termination clause. It also happened in his day with Theo Hernández, Falcao, Arda Turan or David De Gea, among others. Be that as it may, from the mattress offices they have made it clear that they are not going to negotiate.
