Lemar the solution to the problem

Atlético Madrid will do their best to in the final stretch of the transfer market to reach an agreement with Atlético Madrid for Edinson Cavani, who wants to play in Spain.

But Atlético have to balance the books to get the Uruguayan, as they can't surpass the wage limit, the reason why Rodrigo didn't arrive in the last window either.

For Cavani to be a reality, first they have to trim the squad and reduce the wage bill, so the first player marked is Thomas Lemar. The French midfielder is very far away from the level he showed at Monaco and is club is now tired of giving him opportunities

This season he hasn't even scored or set any goals up in the 21 matches he has played, very poor stats form a player that signed for 70 million and that was aiming very high alongside Antoine Griezmann.

The Atlético player trained for the first time in 2020 with his teammates before the cup match while Jorge Mendes continues to look for a club for him in the Premier League. According to 'AS', the agent has some meetings in the next few days with different clubs.

For now, Atleti and Cavani are still pushing and there are 9 days left until the market ends, with Simeone needing a poacher to solve their alarming goalscoring drought. Lemar is the best solution to the problem Atlético have.
