Marcos Paulo if Vitolo leaves

Atlético will not make many moves in their squad for next season. The rojiblanco team will have few new faces and will only be reinforced with a footballer if another comes out. Saúl, Vitolo and Arias are the players who could leave Atlético. Vitolo ends a contract with the Madrid entity in 2022, that is, he has one more campaign left and if the rojiblanco club wants to get some money for him, they will have to transfer him. Vitolo already has a substitute if he leaves: Brazilian Marcos Paulo Costa dos Nascimento, a player who had already signed for Atlético a long time ago from Fluminense.

Marcos Paulo, 20, has a Portuguese passport and will not occupy a foreign position. The preseason will begin under the command of Simeone and later his future will be seen. Marcos Paulo is not a specific forward, he is an offensive player, who performs well on the wing. He is right-handed, but plays with a different leg. A footballer with many technical resources that can be good for Luis Suárez and the other Atlético forwards. Atlético signed him for five seasons and he came to the Wanda Metropolitano entity for free.

Several First Division teams have already requested the loan of this player: Cádiz and Osasuna They have spoken with the rojiblancos leaders for their assignment and the market and Simeone will end up deciding their future. But at the age of 20, Cholo wants to have him by his side and for him to begin to assimilate Atlético's way of playing.

Vitolo already knows from the red and white sports management that there is no problem with him staying. He has not played much this past season, he has gone from more to less and the best thing for him would be to look for minutes in another team. But from Atlético they want to respect his decision. The other player that Atlético has already signed is Rodrigo de Paul, whose signing has not yet been made official.

If Saúl leaves, no one will come, since De Paul would do his duties. Yes, another striker will arrive, who will take the place of Dembélé, who ended his assignment at Atlético. And a goalkeeper if Grbic finally leaves the team. Marcos Paulo will take Vitolo's place if he finally leaves.
