Atlético is safe. The rojiblanco team carried out the generational change of its squad a couple of seasons ago. Then players left who had been all under Simeone's orders: Juanfran, Godín, Filipe Luis, Griezmann … The club had to make signings to replace the footballers who completed their cycle in the Wanda Metropolitano entity and the João Félix, Felipe, Hermoso, Marcos Llorente, João Félix arrived … Atlético has a young squad, with many years ahead of most of its players and, in addition, its main players have important clauses. The message of the leaders of the Madrid institution has always been clear: whoever wants an Atlético footballer will have to pay the clause.
Atlético shielded its great assets against the possibility that large European football clubs want to fish in the rojiblanca entity. Oblak is one of the intended players by the most economically powerful. Its clause is 120 million, an important figure when dealing with a goalkeeper. On the other hand, from England they point out almost daily that Trippier is the object of desire of Premier entities. Its clause is 60 million, a very high figure for a 30-year-old player. The one of Hermoso, signed two seasons ago, is 85.
And Giménez's is 120. The Uruguayan is very liked, among other clubs, of Real Madrid, but the defender has always expressed his desire to continue at Atlético. Whoever wants Giménez will have to make a significant outlay. His contract is until June 2023.
The same will happen with midfield players. Saúl may be one of the summer soap operas. Atlético would not frown on a transfer, but they are not thinking of giving away a footballer of their level. He is 26 and is a player intended, among others, by City. Koke, the rojiblanco captain, has had a good campaign. He won his second league with the team of his life and no one doubts that he will end his rojiblanco career. Koke also has a 150 million clause.
Marcos Llorente's is 120 million, although Atlético negotiates with the footballer to increase his years of contract, his salary and also his clause. He is 26 years old and has a contract with Atlético until 2024. The man from Madrid has a market value of 80 million, the highest of the national players.
Lemar also did a good campaign and the Frenchman, who came close to leaving last summer, is now one of the regular players for Cholo next season. Its clause is 190 million. At 25, he has a contract until 2023. In the attack, João Félix is also armored. The Portuguese has a clause of 350 million, the highest of all Atlético's players. He has not finished exploding and has to give a lot of himself next season. Vitolo has 150 million, he has one year left on his contract and the club wants to find him a way out this summer. Correa has a contract until 2024 and his clause is also above 100 million.
