Everton want to remove Lemar from Atlético de Madrid

Thomas Lemar (24 years old) has not managed to consolidate himself at Atlético. The French midfielder has delivered his second season under Simeone, but it has not met the expectations that were supposed when He came from Monaco in exchange for 70 million euros for 70% of his rights. In those two seasons he has played 72 games in which he has scored three goals and has given six assists, all of this in his first year as a rojiblanco. This campaign has participated in 29 games, but its contribution has been null, since he has not scored goals or given them.

However, that is not an impediment for be desired by other clubs, especially from the English Premier. Long ago the interest Arsenal, Manchester United or Bayern in recruiting him And now it's Everton the one that seems to add to the list of suitors of Lemar. At least, that ensures the Gallic newspaper ‘Le10Sports’, which does not speak of the amount that the Liverpool club would offer, although surely does not come close to the disbursement that the mattress team made in its day. As a guide, the assessment given by the specialized website today can serve as a guide.Transfermarkt', that is of 24 million euros.

Lemar was considered a good investment at the time, since It came from being a basic piece in the Monaco of Mbappe, Falcao and company who made a great campaign in the Champions 2017-18. Also that summer won the World Cup in Russia with the French national team. Despite the fact that his performance has not been according to what it cost, the player he still has the trust of several important members of the club, including his coach. Therefore, unless they receive an offer that allows them to recover a large part of the money invested in him (getting everything is practically impossible) it seems difficult for Atlético to agree to sell him. Another possibility would be to use him as a bargaining chip to sign another player, in a way that would lower the price or even make a man-for-man barter.
