Atlético accelerates the exit operation … with the youth players

A few hours after the transfer market closes, Atlético de Madrid offices are at full capacity. The club needs to release the players who do not count for the first team, but have a much higher level than the Atlético B, who will play in Third RFEF. A talent drain forced by the competitiveness of the first team and the demotion of B.

One of the pearls of the quarry is Rodrigo Riquelme. The right winger has headed to Miranda de Ebro, where he will play in the Mirandés, in Second Division. It is a loan for one year, since he has a contract until 2024 with the rojiblanco club. The Madrilenian comes from playing a season at Bournemouth, in the English Second Division, where he scored 2 goals in just 19 games, with a total of 484 minutes.

Following in the footsteps of Riquelme is Sergio Camello. The Atlético B forward will also leave on loan to Mirandés looking for minutes. Camello made his debut with the first team and scored a goal against Levante in the 19-20 season, but he did not quite convince Simeone. For the forward it will be an important leap in his career, as he has never played in the silver category of Spanish football. It will be a good test to measure your level and see if you are ready to make the final leap to the first team.

For its part, Ricard sanchez is already in grenade, training under the orders of Robert Moreno. The right-back has signed for four seasons with the Nasrid team, leaving the rojiblanco club definitively. It seems that the intention of his new team is to hand him over to Lugo. In this way the defender would close the Lugo defense and gain experience for the next few seasons with the Granada shirt.

Javi montero He will pack his bags again for Turkey. The central defender will play again in the Besiktas, where he was last season and it seems that they were happy with his performance. This time, it is negotiated if the assignment will be with an option to buy. Besiktas were League and Cup champions, which allows them to play Champions League this season, being one of the members of group C along with Sporting, Dortmund and Ajax. Montero played 17 games, with a total of 1,243 minutes. A great season for the Turkish entity and for Atlético's Andalusian defender.

These players follow in the footsteps of other teammates like Toni Moya, who left definitively at Alaves and he has already made his debut with the Vitoria team; San Roman, bought by the Huesca; Sweetbread, which will make its second season on loan at the Mallorca (or maybe change teams at the last minute); or Borja Garcés, which debuted this weekend with the Leganes, where he will be on loan throughout the season.
