Dembélé, loaned to Atleti with a non-compulsory option of € 35M

The agreement between Atlético and Lyon for Dembélé is final, although it has not yet been signed. As AS learned, the striker will arrive in Madrid tomorrow and undergo a medical examination. At least, that's the intention if the weather allows it. Dembélé arrives on loan and the mattress team will be able to exercise a purchase option (not mandatory) of 35 million euros in summer.

In the rojiblanco team they believe that he is the ideal substitute for Diego Costa. The forward scored 24 goals last season and 23 in the previous one, but in the current one he has not entered into Rudi García's plans. This year takes a goal in 670 minutes who has played in 16 games.

At Atleti they hope that Simeone can recover his best version and be an important player. The colchoneros need a goal, especially when Suárez is not there. Camello and Saponjic do not finish pulling the door of ownership and it was a necessary operation that fits perfectly in what the club was looking for.

Juninho, Lyon's sports director, already acknowledged that the signing was close: “Moussa Dembélé came to see me. He told me that he thinks it is time to change teams. He has lost his motivation a bit. We are in negotiations with Atlético, nothing is done yet but the player already has an agreement with Atlético de Madrid ”.
