Thomas, Rodrigo, Griezman, Lucas ... and 320 million in buy-out clauses

Atletico Madrid saw Thomas Partey leave the club in the final hours of the transfer market. The new Arsenal player left for the price in his buy-out clause and many think that 50 million euros was far too low.

In just a year and a half, Atleti have let several key pieces of their side go in the form of Lucas, Griezman, and Rodrigo as well as the Ghanaian midfielder, who was earning more and more respect from Simeone.

Lucas Hernandez went to Bayern Munich in exchange for 80 million euros. The Bavarians didn't even think about it at that price and took the French international without a second thought.

On the other hand, fellow Frenchman Antoine Griezman signed for Barcelona after having turned the move the summer before. 120 million was the figure in his contract.

And Guardiola brought Rodrigo to Manchester for 70 million. Four sales for 320 million and at low prices, especially given the pro-COVID-19 market. Now though, Atletico appear to have learnt their lesson with Joao Félix and have given him a 300 million euro price tag.
