Atletico going to great lengths to sell Lemar

Atletico Madrid have until 5th October to look for a new club for Thomas Lemar. Time goes by and, for now, none of the proposals the club have received are to their liking. 

According to 'Goal', Atletico have asked agent Jorge Mendes for help in finding the Frenchman a new club. Two Premier League sides have shown interest in taking him out on loan. 

But Atletico Madrid are not considering this formiula. This source explains that Atletico Madrid are after a sale, even if it is on the cheap, or a loan deal with the option to make it permanent. The reason? With either of these options, they would be saving money on salaries and they would be able to sign a footballer. They would not be saving money on salaries if it is just a normal loan deal. 

There are just 15 days until the transfer window shuts. Two weeks for Atletico to find a team for a Lemar who has never adapted to Simeone's style of play. 

'Los Rojiblancos' are still confident about being able to sign a reinforcement for the 2020-21 season. They know, that said, that everything is in Lemar's hands.
