La Liga
Atlético de Madrid is determined to close three outgoing operations before the end of the summer transfer market. The sporting direction is working to finalize the sales of Conor Gallagher, Samu Lino, and Thomas Lemar, players who are no longer part of Diego Pablo Simeone's plans. After Saúl Ñíguez's departure to Flamengo and Rodrigo De Paul's transfer to Inter Miami, the red and white club is accelerating the restructuring of its squad with the aim of freeing up wage mass and preparing the ground for future signings.
In Gallagher's case, his time at the Metropolitano seems to be coming to an end. The English midfielder, who arrived last summer from Chelsea, sparked enthusiasm in his first months but gradually lost weight in the starting eleven. Tottenham leads the race for his services, with Thomas Frank as the main supporter of the midfielder. However, Newcastle also maintains their interest. Competition at Atlético has intensified with the arrivals of Johnny Cardoso, Alex Baena, and Thiago Almada, a situation that has left the Brit in an uncomfortable position. The player is considering his departure to secure a place in the English national team for the 2026 World Cup.
Atlético aims to sell Gallagher, Samu Lino, and Lemar
Regarding Samu Lino, the club has received offers from Napoli and Wolverhampton. Despite the Brazilian leaving a good impression with his offensive performance, Simeone has deemed that his profile does not fully fit the current playing style. Atlético values his departure between 20 and 25 million euros, a reasonable figure for a player contracted until 2027.
Lastly, Lemar's situation was foreseeable. Injuries and inconsistency have diminished his role, and both Turkish and Arab football clubs have shown interest in signing him. The Frenchman is no longer part of the coaching staff's plans, and his exit is seen as an administrative priority.
With these three operations, Atlético aims to rejuvenate its squad and reinforce key positions before the market's closure.
