The reason that brings Raul de Tomas closer to Atletico

Raul de Tomas has a contract with Espanyol until 30th June 2026, but his future is up in the air. Not because Espanyol want to sell him, but because it is economic necessity that is pushing them to do so.

The Catalan club needs to reduce the wage bill, so that points directly to Raul de Tomas. The striker, very important for the Catalan club, has Atletico Madrid interested in him.

As reported by Matteo Moretto of 'Relevo', his departure is practically inevitable and his landing at the Wanda Metropolitano is getting closer because of the idea he has.

Raul de Tomas wants to join a team that will play in the Champions League, so Atletico will provide him with that without leaving Spain.

Atletico are forced to make several signings in attack, due to the departure of Luis Suarez and because Morata will not have a place, or so it seems, in Simeone's squad.
