The Atlético de Madrid working on next season's setup. Within the commitment to continuity that they want to carry out from the rojiblancos club, there will be entrances and exits. And this may be conditioned by the extra-community factor.
Because on July 1, with Kieran Trippier, the mattress team will have in its squad three players with these characteristics that it has for next season and, in addition, two other players who have been on loan who also have this condition must return to the rojiblanca discipline: Santiago Arias Y Nehuén Pérez.
The Colombian has been on loan this season at the Bayer
Leverkusen, with which he has barely played. Because at the beginning of the course (October) he suffered a serious injury that has kept him in the dry dock for seven months. A fibula fracture with damage to the ankle. And a few days ago, he had to undergo surgery again, which will make his discharge last longer. Thus, Bayer will not make the purchase option it had effective, although it is not ruled out that the transfer be extended for another year.
For its part, Nehuén PérezAfter being on loan this year at Granada, he will return to Atlético, but at the rojiblanco club they already manage to repeat the formula of the last two seasons (in the previous one he was on loan to the Portuguese Famalicao). Real Betis has already been interested in his situation.
And as we say, Atlético's extra-community quota is full at the moment. Because the brazilians Philip Y I gave it They were the two who had that role, but on July 1 he will join them Kieran trippier. After the departure of England from the European Union, an agreement was reached for the players of this nationality to continue the rest of the season without occupying a place abroad. But on July 1, that extension ends, so the rojiblanco team will already have the extra-community places occupied.
Although work is being done on the nationalization of Philip Y I gave itIt is not expected to arrive in the short term, so Atlético's planning is conditioned in this sense. Because if one of these three players does not leave, the mattress club will not be able to hire any non-EU player.
Of those that are sounding for Atlético, Lautaro Martinez He has this role, so his arrival would be ruled out … and not only because of the 80 million euros that Inter Milan is asking for to sit down to negotiate. The same does not happen with the Peruvian midfielder of Celta de Vigo Renato Tapia, because after seven years in Holland, now the Netherlands, the Galician club tried to nationalize the player.
PEARLS OF THE FUTURE
Nor does he occupy a foreign position Mark Paulo, the Brazilian striker with whom Atlético reached an agreement months ago. He has Portuguese nationality. The one who would occupy a foreign position is Matías Arezo, the 18-year-old Uruguayan pearl that the mattress entity is pursuing, and whose incorporation was said long ago that it was well on its way with the River Plate of Montevideo.
In any case, Atlético will start the summer conditioned by the extra-community places, since Kieran trippier will take over this role on July 1.
