ANDhe Atlético youth squad player, Víctor Mollejo, will play for Getafe on loan, as the Madrid team has made it official. He will face his second season in a row away from Atleti. The attacker has said goodbye to his teammates during the rojiblanco training and has left the club's facilities. The player did the first part of the training, the physical section, and when it was time to play a game with the available players, He has picked up his boots and said goodbye to his teammates, as well as the employees of the club and left Cerro del Espino.
Mollejo (19 years old) played last year on loan at Deportivo de la Coruña and, despite the downgrade of the Galicians, left good feelings. He scored six goals and gave four assists in the 38 games he played between LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, in which he accumulated 2,589 minutes. That was worth it to do the preseason with the first team waiting to be able to make a hole in the rojiblanca squad for this season. That uncertainty made some teams will be interested in getting their loan, since Atlético has him and does not want to let him escape permanently.
Getafe was the one that showed the most interest in him from the beginning and managed to have preference in case the player had no place in the squad. Simeone likes it and, in fact, gave him minutes in the only preseason game of the rojiblancos against Almería, in which Mollejo responded with a goal. His permanence or not in the squad depended on the departure of Lemar from the team, something that has not finally occurred, which has closed the doors to the youth squad to continue. The youth squad was called up for the second game of LaLiga de los colchoneros, against Huesca, but did not take the field. In the other two duels, against Granada and Villarreal, it wasn't even on the list, which was an omen that I would leave the entity sooner or later, as has happened.
