Sarabia for Saúl

Atlético is taking advantage of the last hours of the market to reinforce the squad. Minutes after the rojiblanco club yielded Arias to Granada, AS has learned that the Metropolitan offices are working on a double operation: the arrival of Sarabia and the departure of Saúl.

The PSG midfielder is very much to Simeone's liking and his signing for Atlético would mean the incorporation of a versatile footballer for the attack. The Madrilenian does not enter into Pochettino's plans and sees with good eyes landing on the Spanish champion. The operation could be closed through an assignment, which could also include a purchase option.

If Sarabia is the player with the most options to reach Atlético, the player who would leave the rojiblanca discipline would be Saúl. Both the midfielder and the mattress entity agree that the ideal is to separate their destinations. Chelsea is the team with which the Elche's pass is negotiated. The formula that is being discussed is that of assignment with a purchase option. If a few hours ago Saúl's departure was considered impossible, at the moment sources of the negotiation assure AS that it is closer than ever.
