Atlético de Madrid has officially put up for sale two of its most recent signings from the summer transfer market. Both Thiago Almada and Álex Baena are on the way out due to widespread dissatisfaction with their performance.

Diego Pablo Simeone does not hide his disappointment with the lack of impact both players have had in the competitive dynamic of the current league campaign.

Atlético de Madrid's Selling Plans After Disappointment

The Madrid club needs to generate urgent income to carry out a deep restructuring that allows the arrival of an internationally renowned center back this year. The absolute priority for the club is to renew the core and find a successor with full guarantees for Griezmann's role.

Álex Baena, who arrived in the capital from Villarreal for 42 million euros, has struggled to adapt to the tactical rigor. At 24 years old, the talented midfielder has only managed two goals and two assists in the 31 official matches he has played so far.

Despite these modest numbers, the Spanish international's value remains high in foreign markets, especially in the Premier League, which always keeps an eye on his skills. Atlético de Madrid aims to receive around 60 million euros for his definitive transfer in June.

Market Options for Thiago Almada and Álex Baena

Meanwhile, the situation of the Argentine midfielder is equally complex after his arrival from Brazilian football for an initial amount of 21 million. Thiago Almada has failed to convince the coaching staff, playing a secondary role with four goals in 28 appearances, mostly coming off the bench.

The board expects to raise around 50 million euros for the young World Cup champion, although they are aware that they may accept slightly lower offers. There is varied interest in the attacking midfielder, with serious suitors in the Italian Serie A, Brasileirao, and several well-budgeted British teams.

The club must meet pending payments for the player soon, accelerating the need to find a buyer before the financial year closes. The goal is to avoid financial losses and generate profits to fund the arrival of a striker with the much-needed goal-scoring prowess.

Tactical and Financial Restructuring

If both sales are finalized, the team will have salary flexibility and crucial liquidity to enter the market with real chances of success. The departure of these two key players will mark the beginning of a frenetic summer where defensive rigor will once again be the primary focus.

Atlético de Madrid understands that the era of patience with certain signings is over, prioritizing immediate competitiveness over long-term potential. Fans hope that this move will help better support their stars and compete for all major titles once again.

Simeone is looking for profiles that align better with his philosophy of effort and sacrifice, something that neither the Argentine nor the Spaniard have fully demonstrated. The summer transfer market will dictate the fate of a sporting plan that urgently needs a change to bring excitement back to the supporters of the red and white team.
