During January, Atletico Madrid intends to get rid of its €70 million arrival.

In January, Atletico Madrid intends to dispose of its €70 million acquisition.In recent weeks, it has been reported that Atletico Madrid is seeking to acquire a new central midfielder in January.

This is despite the fact that Pablo Barrios has gained more prominence and Conor Gallagher arrived during the summer.

What is the rationale behind this? It will be necessary to replace Thomas Lemar in the near future. Since sustaining a severe injury at the commencement of the 2023-24 season, Lemar has encountered significant challenges in establishing himself as a prominent figure at Atleti.

He returned to action last month, but it is improbable that he will receive a significant amount of playing time prior to the winter transfer window opening. Lemar, who initially joined Los Colchoneros in 2018 for a reported fee of €70m, will be pursued by Atleti to find a new club when that arrives, according to ED.

A permanent sale is less probable than a loan; however, his wages indicate that any departure during the winter will suffice.

Lamar’s at Atletico Madrid has been significantly underwhelming, and it is almost certain that it will conclude in 2025. It is uncertain whether he will be departing in January.
