A new chapter will finally open at Atlético de Madrid. As a reminder, Diego Simeone’s club has achieved XXL recruitment this season with the arrival of Marc Pubill, David Hancko, Matteo Ruggeri, Johnny Cardoso, Alex Baena, Thiago Almada then Ademola Lookman during the winter for more than 200 million euros! The Colchoneros were unable to fight for the title and lost in the final of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad (2-2, tab: 3-4) before losing in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Arsenal (1-2 on aggregate).
This marks the end of the great adventure for Antoine Griezmann, who left for the United States as an Atléti legend, even if he was never crowned champion of Spain (and did not win any Copa del Rey). In addition to being the top scorer in the club’s history, “Grizi” is the fourth most capped player with 497 matches to his name. Atlético’s two most capped players could also say goodbye!
Three fewer French people at Atlético?
The record holder Koke, trained at the club and now aged 34, could also leave the “Cholo” in order to begin his “pre-retirement”. To see if it will also be in an MLS club. But Jan Oblak is also cited among the possibilities leaving by
El Desmarque. The goalkeeper, 33, arrived in the Spanish capital in 2015 and could be tempted to take on a new challenge, in the Premier League for example. The midfielder has 736 matches, the goalkeeper 536.
Four other players are placed on the transfer list, including the team’s two French defenders. Robin Le Normand, recruited in 2024 and Spanish international, did not have a very good season. Clément Lenglet, useful understudy for two seasons, could also leave, just like Nahuel Molina, confined to a replacement role (even if he has scored two exceptional goals in recent months). Finally, in attack, Alexander Sorloth is in the hot seat. The Norwegian striker regularly shakes the nets (12 goals in La Liga, 6 in the Champions League this season), but Atlético will not refuse a great offer to replenish its coffers.
