He Atlético de Madrid At the sporting level, he is fully focused on preparing his participation in the eight-final of Lisbon in the Champions League. But obviously, the offices are working on the configuration of the template for the next season. And one of the issues that must be resolved is that of the homegrown players with more projection, with three names above the rest, although the list is longer. We refer to Víctor Mollejo, Manu Sánchez and Rodrigo Riquelme, although this payroll could also include Borja Garcés, Sergio Camello, Ricard, Germán Valera, Javi Montero…
The first three are the ones that have aroused the most interest in First and Second division teams, and those with the most in mind Diego Simeone facing the next course.
Beginning with Victor MollejoAt the age of 19, he has shown himself ready to face important challenges, such as that of this course at Deportivo de la Coruña. Despite his youth, the striker had no problems pulling the car of a historic from Spain who has lived through a fateful campaign that has led to the descent of the Galicians to Second B (at the expense of what is decided after all lived on the last day).
Gizzard He will not play in the mattress subsidiary, and there are several First teams that have already knocked on his door. Two of the ones that have shown the most interest are Getafe and Eibar. At Atlético they are in favor of another loan, already in the highest category, so that it continues with its excellent projection, although it is not seen with bad eyes (starting with Simeone), that it remained in the first team. Of course, it would have less minutes.
In a similar situation is Manu Sánchez, who will be 20 years old in August, although in his case, he has more options to keep the ‘elders’. The left back has performed well when the Cholo has wanted to give rest to I gave it
, and it could be the home solution to have two footballers in that area. It has offers of assignment of First and Second.
And then there is Rodrigo Riquelme. He ends his contract in 2021 and Atlético wants to extend it. The 20-year-old wants minutes in a higher category and can also be loaned if he extends his bond. Teams like Celtic or the Betis have already knocked on your door.
Also, there are footballers like Germán Valera, Ricard, Álvaro, Cedric, Sergio Camello or Borja Garcés for which higher class clubs have been interested. If Atlético B had achieved promotion, the red and white entity would have solved that ‘problem’, but now it will be necessary to see if they continue in Segunda B or if they leave on loan to have minutes in Segunda.
