Atletico could get Moussa Dembele on loan again

Things did not go as he would have hoped for in La Liga. The French striker joined from Lyon and he was keen to make his mark in the league, but, just like at the French side, he was poor in front of goal. 

He also did not get all the chances in the world and he also suffered an incident in training which scared the footballing world. He fainted during a training drill. 

In the end, he played just 140 minutes across seven games and he did not score a goal. However, those disappointing statistics have not put Atletico off. They would like to try again with him. 

According to 'Marca', the Frenchman will be able to play again under Simeone and he would not have a problem being the number two behind Luis Suarez. 

In addition, it would hardly cost Atletico Madrid anything. If he had a good season, he could be bought permanently by Atleti. Lyon do not count on him. 

Despite his poor season in 2020-21 at Lyon before moving to Spain, the centre forward has shown his quality in the past in France. In 92 matches played between 2018-19 and 2019-20, he scored 44 goals and gave 10 assists. He has suddenly lost that goalscoring touch though and Atletico believe they can get that back.
