Atletico approve sale of Mario Hermoso

Mario Hermoso is up for sale. He has a contract until 2024 at Atletico Madrid, but he has fallen behind Reinildo in the pecking order this season. According to 'AS', the board is not opposed to the Spaniard leaving this summer. 

At the moment, there have not been any suitors, but there could be soon. After all, the defender has a lot of experience in La Liga, one of the best leagues in Europe, and knows what it is like to win titles. Without going any further, he was one of the players who helped Atleti win La Liga in the 2020-21 season. 

That does not take away the fact that he is no playing a lot less. His market value is 18.9 million euros, so Atletico have an idea how much money they can get for him if they need to find a new club for him. All of that is subject to negotiations.

'AS' adds that Atletico Madrid will not say no to bolstering their defence. In order to do that, selling Hermoso would be a very important factor because it would allow them to look for a replacement to compete with Reinildo for the number one spot or be his deputy.
