Atlético will not be able to sign a forward if Saúl does not leave

Atlético closed their work week in Los Angeles de San Rafael with one player taking over almost all the prominence: Saúl. The youth squad trained to acquire the necessary physique to start the season and he does so with his future up in the air. Saúl can leave, although for the moment he is still under Simeone's orders. And Atlético does not plan to rush or take any risk with the midfielder. Although his move to Barcelona has already been almost taken for granted, the situation has not taken a radical turn in recent days. Rather the complete opposite. Saúl could land at Barcelona, ​​although his agent has been contacting several clubs. Liverpool and Manchester United are possible destinations and in the event that he does not dress as a Barça player, I could end up in the Premier.

Atlético will not be able to sign any player if Saúl does not leave. LaLiga will not allow him to register more players since the salary limit prevents it. Only if Saúl leaves will Atlético incorporate a striker.

In the event that Saúl goes to Barcelona, ​​it would be Griezmann who made the champion garter belt. If the rojiblanco does not play at the Camp Nou, and if he does in the Premier, Simeone will have a forward at his disposal. The name of Rafa Mir rang out with great force last week in the offices of the Wanda Metropolitano.

Saúl conditions the future in this sense, but Simeone has the advantage of having the squad formed. No need to touch up a lot. The rojiblanco canterano has dropped that it is Atlético who is interested in looking for a way out. True, as the player himself indicated a long time ago his desire to try a new adventure. The arrival of De Paul is one more obstacle for Saúl.

Atlético, meanwhile, waits calmly. Saúl, 26, is a sought-after footballer. Its market value is 40 million euros and in the Madrid club they know that there have not yet been any major moves for the future. If there is no agreement with Barcelona, ​​Liverpool or Manchester United may be your destinations.
