Diego Pablo Simeone has sent a clear message to the Atlético de Madrid sports management: he does not count on Samu Lino or Thomas Lemar for this season. The Argentine coach believes that both players do not fit into his current project and has requested the club to expedite their departure in this summer transfer window.
Thomas Lemar:
In Lemar's case, his situation was foreseeable. The French midfielder has been plagued by injuries, and his performance has fallen below expectations. Despite having standout moments in previous seasons, his contribution has declined, and he is no longer part of the coaching staff's plans.
Samu Lino:
The decision regarding Samu Lino is more surprising. The Brazilian was one of the players who generated excitement last season, showing flair and offensive capabilities. However, Simeone believes that his profile is not a priority and would prefer to have wingers with more directness and stronger defensive commitment, a key aspect in his system.
Searching for other profiles to enhance the squad:
With these exits, 'Cholo' aims to free up salary space and roster spots to bring in new pieces that will elevate the team's competitiveness. Atlético is already working on finding destinations for both players, aware that it will be necessary to expedite movements to meet the coach's requests.
