Kondogbia is hours away from, officially, being a new Atlético Madrid player. The player is now in the Spanish capital to sign his new contract in La Liga. The cameras from '#Vamos' recorded him while he got out of a black car in the city.
He was there to sit the medical and be able to be under the orders of Simeone as soon as possible. Perhaps he will make the Champions League match against Lokomotiv Moscow, which will take place on 3rd November.
This sale will hurt the club a lot. Manager Javi Gracia has already complained on various occasions that the planning that was put on the table for him has never become a reality, which didn't allow him to count on the reinforcements that he expected for the objectives of the club.
From Kondogbia's perspective, he has to fight again for a position as a starter in a team new to him, although in a league he knows well. He will adapt quickly to the championship and will be able to focus on doing what Cholo Simeone deems appropriate in his next training sessions.
