Written by Patrick Echatah

Before the transfer window closes, Atléti wants to offload three of their current players. Javi Galan’s signing was confirmed by the Spanish giants on Monday, and further defensive additions are expected.

However, if Los Rojiblancos want to make offensive transfers, sales must first take place.

According to multiple reports from Marca, Saul Niguez, Thomas Lemar, and Yannick Carrasco are all up for possible exit. The latter was extensively linked to Barcelona earlier this year, but as of this moment, it seems doubtful.

The Belgian winger was helpful in the previous season, but he is in the final year of his contract and, at 29, this is their last opportunity to recuperate part of their investment in him.

Since their championship-winning season in 2020–21, Thomas Lemar has battled to maintain consistency. Both this season and last, the Frenchman has been plagued by a number of injuries, and should the appropriate offer come in, it appears that both parties are open to exploring an exit.

Lemar has few options to secure a starting spot in the upcoming season, even though he extended his contract through 2026 last year.

Joao Felix was not mentioned in the report, although it is likely that they would like to sell him as well given his high salary.

The trio of Felix, Lemar and Saul have all recently been playing below their pay grade, thus Atléti will want to make better use of their resources.

Meanwhile…

Manchester City are preparing a €15 million bid for Atlético Madrid’s Rodrigo Riquelme according to Angel Garcia — and later corroborated by Relevo.

Riquelme is currently on Spanish under-21 duty at the Euros, where they have reached the semi-final and will play Ukraine on Wednesday in Bucharest.

He spent last season on loan at Girona, where he played over 2,000 minutes in 25 starts in LaLiga. Under Michel’s guidance, Girona were one of the surprise packages last season…and they are part of City Football Group, which is a network of clubs operated by Manchester City’s owners.
