Atlético de Madrid's sports management rushes the last hours of the transfer market to release several players. After several weeks looking for a destination for Thomas Lemar and Héctor Herrera, he has found a destination for both internationals in Porto.
Thomas Lemar has also considered the option of leaving for Bayern Munich, but The German team did not finalize their offer to Atlético and it was Porto that has bet on the quality of a player who has not triumphed at rojiblanco as expected after having been the most expensive signing in its history in its day, later surpassed by that of Joao Félix. Lemar, world champion with France, has not finished performing with Cholo.
The Athletic He needed Héctor Herrera's place to sign up Lucas Torreira, the Uruguayan midfielder who arrives on loan from Arsenal and that he already passed a medical examination with the rojiblanco team last Saturday. Herrera, captain of the Mexican team, has rejected several offers, such as that of Zenit, but Porto is trying to get him to accept his proposal, although he also has offers from the Premier.
Lemar's departure would mean the slowdown of the loan of Víctor Mollejo to Getafe. Everything was agreed for the youth squad to play on loan to Bordalás, but, although we have to wait until the last market day to make it official, Mollejo will remain under Simeone's orders.
After leaving Nehuén Pérez to Granada, on the last market day andhe Atlético must also seek a destination for Kalinic, which has offers from Italy. And perhaps he could also find a team for Iván Saponjic, a forward who does not count at all for Simeone.
