Atletico Madrid inform Saul Niguez that they do not count on him for next season

Change is in the air at Atletico Madrid. The 'Colchonero' team, aware that they have had a disastrous season, have taken the decision to renew their squad to try to get back in the fight for titles with Real Madrid.

One of those affected will be Saul Niguez, a player who has grown up in the ‘Colchoneros’ youth academy. The midfielder has been losing prominence in Simeone's team over time and the Argentine coach has already made it clear to the club that he does not count on him.

That's what Matteo Moretto, from ‘Relevo’, has reported, stating that the club has asked the current No 8 to look for a team to start a new challenge in his career. The player from Elche will not lack clubs interested in him to be able to leave, but the problem is his contractual situation.

Saul has a contract with Atletico until 2026, so a termination of his contract could cost Atletico a lot of money. In addition, his fee is too high for a lower level club to try to sign him.

After 11 seasons in the ‘Colchonero’ team with two loan spells in between (Rayo Vallecano and Chelsea), the player from Elche is practically with one foot and a half out of the institution.
