Carrasco, another yielded with revenue

He Athletic I know will stay with Carrasco after recovering the best version of the Belgian after the stoppage due to the coronavirus health crisis. The 26-year-old He had returned to the club in January like on loan from the Chinese Dalian, to which he left in 2018 from Atlético itself, and his good work has led to negotiate its continuity where it is close his signing for the next four seasons. A format to reinforce the team that could be used again in this complicated market.

The one from Carrasco Not the first time in recent years in which the good level shown by the player during his loan leads Atlético to to be made definitely with their services. The previous one is very recent, that of an Álvaro Morata what exactly signed a year before the Belgian, also ending the winter market but 2019 to reinforce the mattress attack. On loan from Chelsea for a year and a half, the striker scored six goals in his first months at the club and this season he has been the team's top scorer with 16 goals, something that led to Athletic to confirm in the summer of last year that you would exercise your purchase option for a global transfer of about 55 million.

But without any doubt the most special arrival from a loan was that of Fernando Torres. Coming from Milan and in exchange for the loan of Cerci, the Child returned home in January 2015 to end up staying at the end of his contract with the Italian team. Would dispute their last three and a half seasons in Europe at the club of your dreams, scoring 38 goals during the second stage and raising his first rojiblanco title, the 2018 Europa League. I would finally put Heading to Japan before his retirement after three consecutive seasons surpassing the barrier of 10 goals, Figures that at that time were given less relevance by Torres' level throughout his career, but which, for example, this season has only surpassed Morata.

Courtois and Diego could not stay

Two players with great performance during their respective assignments but who could not continue in the club were Thibaut Courtois and Diego Ribas. The two signed for the first time as athletic in the 2011-12 season, which would end up becoming Simeone's landing at Atleti. In the case of the Belgian, Chelsea went ahead of the rojiblanco team to get their services from Genk, but he would leave him on loan since Cech closed the doors of the English team. With only 19 years, made it clear that he had a great future ahead and in his first season he raised the Europa League by playing the entire tournament. Atlético would ask to extend his loan the following season, where he continued to improve and was key to finishing in third place and especially for himevacuate the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid, his current team, with a great performance in the final. At summer 2013 the same process, another assignment got for him Magic year of the League title with Courtois lifting his second consecutive Zamora. The Champions semi-finals against Chelsea, his team in property, closed the doors to a fourth loan and the English team refused in resounding to pass the goalkeeper, who played 154 games as a rojiblanco.

In Diego's case, his arrival was on loan from Wolfsburg to become the channeler of the rojiblancos attacks, with Falcao at the top and Arda Turan as a great partner and he left a brilliant first year. He played 43 games, 3,197 minutes and scored six goals, the last of them in the final of the Europa League against Athletic. The midfielder developed all his talent, which made Atlético want to buy him, but also so that Wolfsburg ordered his return. However in the German club he would not find that comfort zone and would return on loan to Atleti in January 2014, in a second stage with much less prominence but the jackpot in the form of a league title. His goal against Barcelona from 30 meters is red and white history in the Champions League, somewhat fundamental to overcome the quarters and end up reaching the final in Lisbon. Few players of such talent have passed through Atlético.

Tiago, the leader of the midfield

Going back further in time, the colossal figure of Tiago appears. He hadn't been important in the two and a half seasons he had been at Juventus and Atlético got his loan in January 2010. In the rojiblanco team he began to make a place in the center of the field thanks to his talent and knowing how to always be well placed. The following year Atleti would get his loan again, until Tiago ended his contract with the Bianconero team and signed as a mattress as a free agent. 228 games and a League, a King's Cup, a Europa League (in 2010 he could not be entered), two European Super Cups and a Spanish Super Cup are in his record. Beyond titles, his way of distributing the game from the pivot places him as one of the club's great midfielders in the 21st century. After hanging up his boots at Atlético in 2017 He joined Cholo's coaching staff and this season he will coach Portuguese Vitoria de Guimaraes. Perhaps in the future he can take the reins of the team.

Loaned less successfully

During Simeone's time at the club, it has been usual to reinforce himself through loaned players, something that could happen again this summer, where economic difficulties force to take advantage of any market opportunity. Not all had the leading role of the five players mentioned above. Cani arrived at the same time as Torres Loaned by Villarreal to end up participating in six games. The Little Prince Sosa did have a leading role and with his corner kicks he was decisive to end up winning the league title in 2014 on loan from the metalist Ukrainian. Signed at the same time as Diego's second stage, ended up playing 24 games in half a year, with important minutes in the last league match at the Camp Nou and participation in the Champions League final. A year later is the case of Ansaldi, signed in July 2014 to cover Filipe's resignation together with Siqueira. On loan from the Russian Zenit, started well, but it was losing prominence with the passing of the parties.
