La Liga
The Atlético de Madrid has made a decisive decision regarding its squad for the 2024/25 season. After finalizing the loan of Joao Félix to Chelsea, the red and white club has put Thomas Lemar on the market, sending a clear message about his future. Despite the Frenchman recovering from his Achilles heel injury and completing the preseason without issues, his absence in the first official squad against Villarreal did not go unnoticed.
A player who has not proven his worth
The fact that Lemar, under contract until 2027, was not called up for the first match of the season indicates that Atlético is willing to listen to offers for him, as reported by 'FútbolFantasy'. The Frenchman arrived at the club in 2018 as the most expensive signing in its history but never managed to establish himself as the key piece expected. Throughout his time in Madrid, Lemar has shown flashes of quality, yet the lack of consistency has diminished his role in Simeone's system.
With the need to reinforce the defense, Atlético is looking to sell one or two players to finance the arrival of a new center-back. In this context, Lemar emerges as one of the most likely candidates to leave the club. Reports suggest that English and Turkish teams have already shown interest, potentially facilitating his departure in the coming weeks.
