Atlético de Madrid is already thinking about what this season will be like and which players can take a step forward, potentially establishing themselves. One is Samuel Lino , the Brazilian footballer, has a contract with Atlético until 2027, and there are already talks to improve that link. Last season he played his first minutes with the Atlético shirt, after signing with Atlético in the winter of 2022.
Atlético de Madrid signed him from Portuguese side Gil Vicente , seeing him as a two-way attacker, ideal for attacking and helping out in defence whenever he can. Because that is what Samuel Lino is best at: he helps out in defence and recovers a lot of balls; he is the starting wing-back for Diego Pablo Simeone . Although now the coach is trying out a more offensive variant with him, taking him out of the wing-back position.
That's what Samuel Lino has, he can contribute in any area of the field, in his first season he contributed 8 goals and 8 assists , some very interesting numbers. His defensive sacrifice, accompanied by his talent, make him a special player for Diego Pablo Simeone , who is very clear that he is indisputable. The club is already thinking about protecting him, so there have already been some conversations with his entourage to evaluate his availability.
Samuel Lino is very happy in Madrid
Samuel Lino has no doubts: he is happy in Madrid and wants to continue with the club for several years; he has adapted very well to the club and the red-and-white team. The club wants to improve his clause and review his emoluments, although it is not a time for salary increases. There are only a few exceptions, and in the case of Samuel Lino , one of them may occur.
There have also been some approaches to his agents from some teams, but the Brazilian has not wanted to listen to any proposals. He is focused on Atlético de Madrid and on continuing to help the club; he even dreams of reaching the Brazilian national team. Samuel Lino convinces both everyone in Brazil and the fans of Atlético de Madrid , even though it was a very risky bet by Andrea Berta .
Diego Simeone expects another step forward from him
The Italian sporting director has not had any great successes in recent times, although in the case of Samuel Lino , it is a resounding success. The Brazilian has already established himself as one of Diego Pablo Simeone 's important players and this year he must only continue to grow. Therefore, it is expected that his contract will be improved, something he has earned, although without waste, following the club's line.
The Santo André player's release clause is 100 million euros; he is well protected, but they want to improve his conditions even further. They are working on it, although the talks have only just begun. Samuel Lino is already looking ahead to the next match, which will be against Valencia , where he played on loan and to whom he scored a goal in his recent visit to Madrid .
