Saúl wants to leave Atlético. The rojiblanco midfielder has lost his undisputed status and has decided that he wants to change of scene. As As has learned, on the table is an offer from Bayern Munich. The current European champion, who has just recently been reinforced with the central Upamecano, he wants to incorporate more troops for his core and the favorite is the still athletic player.
Marcos Llorente's great season and the good level Lemar is showing have relegated Saúl to the background. In fact, this season he has only started 21 of the 36 games that Atlético has added this season, but in addition he has only counted for Simeone in 1,887 minutes, which represents 58%, and he has been substituted 9 times.

For two years Saúl has been waiting for a renovation that has not finished arriving. With the pandemic, he understood that the club would paralyze any type of negotiation, but Bayern's interest has been the definitive reason for him to want to leave Atlético and head to the Bundesliga. His termination clause is 150 million since his renewal in 2017, but Atlético would be willing to accept his transfer for an amount that ranges between 35 and 50 million euros.
