Arriving last winter from Royal Antwerp, Arthur Vermeeren offered Atlético Madrid a lot of hope. Recruited for 18 million euros, the Belgian defensive midfielder looked like the ideal deal for immediate and future needs. But there you have it, under the pressure of a breathless end to the season, Diego Simeone did not play his new recruit much at the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Having only played 160 minutes of play in the last six months, the Lier native does not seem to really fit into the Colchoneros’ plans for the new season. Thus, AS tells us that a loan would be studied to give more playing time to the Belgian star. With the arrival of Conor Gallagher in Madrid, Vermeeren will really not have many minutes and a loan to allow him to have more time elsewhere so that he continues to progress would be wanted by the management of the Matelassiers.
