To the Atlético de Madrid time is running out. The rojiblanco club has four days, counting this Friday, to close the squad. Because on Monday night, the market closes. And the mattress makers still have unfinished business.
The departures are what worries most at the moment. Because although the team of Simeone has already played two league games, the club still wants to remove some players, with Lemar Y Herrera as main candidates. In the offices of the Metropolitan they work to achieve it, but at the moment, there is no agreement.
For the French they have moved from the Premier and from Germany (Bayern Y Leipzig). Atlético would like a transfer, but the initial proposals that arrive, not concrete, are for assignment. Something that would be a lesser evil for the mattress makers, who would at least save the French token as long as a purchase option is included in the loan.
About Herrera, the Mexican salary is a problem for his departure. Porto was interested, but there has been no news. That, not to mention Kalinic, who has not even trained with Atlético although he has a contract, or Saponjic, which is not part of Cholo's plans.
And then there is Coast. Simeone count on him. Cerezo hinted that he would stay at Atlético, where he still has a one-year contract. But it is also true that your agent. Jorge Mendes, has the mission to find destiny. If it happened, Cavani still in the bedroom. Four days before the market closes, the Uruguayan continues without a team. He's waiting for Atlético, but …
With the exits stopped, so are the entrances. In addition to this one from Cavani (it is not ruled out that, if the chip is lowered by half, it could end up arriving even if Costa stays, as long as other players leave) Atlético has practically closed the incorporation of Lucas Torreira
.
The agreement with the Uruguayan midfielder has been total for weeks. To the point that the player has said 'no' to all the proposals that he has received. He only wants to go to Atlético, something that he communicated to Arsenal And that has been key for the Gunners to end up giving in. Simeone wants the midfielder. You want to strengthen that position. And the charrúa is the chosen one.
In any case, the rojiblanco club is running out of time. They have four days to resolve these issues. Otherwise, the template will stay as is.
