Time goes against Dembélé. The forward has until June to convince the rojiblancos leaders and make the clause of 33.5 million euros effective. On December 22, she broke her arm in training with Lyon and has been out since. The player himself is recovered and wants to start as soon as possible with the rest of his teammates. Only a precautionary doctor's recommendation can curb your desire to start now. The Frenchman's idea is to enter the squad against Eibar on January 21, since he is eager to claim himself after a bad start to the season with just one goal in 670 minutes.
Things of fate, the Atlético train arrives at its worst face-to-door at Lyon. However, his previous numbers guarantee that he has a goal: he scored 24 points last season and 23 the previous one. While in Scotland he recorded 51 goals in 94 games, In England: 19 goals in 64 games. A hopeful background for the rojiblanca parish after the unexpected goodbye of Diego Costa.
It is no secret that Suárez needs to have a relief in meetings, a priori, of minor importance to be able to rest. Although it is not ruled out that the French will take over a starting position, since it is compatible with the Uruguayan. Other European clubs also noticed him. In fact, in the latter summer market was close to signing for Chelsea, although its value was diluted. Transfermarkt I rate it now at 30 million euros, but a year ago was at a value of fifty.
Full confidence in Simeone
Both Atleti and Dembélé himself hope that Simeone can recover his best version. The three parts are condemned to understand each other. The player wants to continue as rojiblanco. The club would avoid the problem of '9' in summer. While Simeone would win more goals in a key season where they aspire to everything in the League and Champions with great sensations.
In addition, this was a necessary operation that perfectly matched what the club was looking for as soon as they found out that Costa was leaving. The only exception for which they were going to pay a transfer was Milik, although finally Napoli closed the door on him.
