Atletico postpone Lautaro move until 2022

The coronavirus pandemic has forced clubs to tread carefully with how much they spend their money. Their economies are nowhere near as strong as they used to be, as most battle to try and recover from a financially damning spell.

Despite the fact that nightmare is still far from over, sporting bodies are starting to overcome it bit by bit. In Atletico Madrid's case, their directive have decided to put the breaks on the move for one player in particular.

The man in question is Lautaro Martinez. According to information from 'Mundo Deportivo', those in the Spanish capital have postponed their offensive for the striker until the summer of 2022, as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Thus, all points towards the fact that Atleti will look to bring in the Argentina star for the 2022/23 campaign. If they end up getting their man, he would provide them with some serious firepower up front.
