Cold water for Simeone: the two problems that Atlético de Madrid has

Javi Galán and Thomas Lemar, who have not found a destination, will continue with Simeone at Atlético de Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid has closed one of the most active and unpredictable transfer markets in recent times. The team from the capital, managed by Diego Pablo Simeone, has completed numerous signings. Among the most notable, the arrivals of Julián Alvarez, their great dream, and Alexander Sorloth.

As for the departures, Atlético de Madrid has also done a remarkable job, releasing several names. The most notable are Saúl Ñíguez , who was not in Diego Pablo Simeone's plans, and Álvaro Morata . However, there are two who have not been able to leave the club and will have to form part of the squad.

Atlético de Madrid's two problems: A cold shower for Simeone

Atlético de Madrid , in the last days of the transfer market, was clear that two players had to leave. This was the case of Javi Galán and Thomas Lemar , footballers who will not have too many minutes with Diego Pablo Simeone . In fact, the player from Badajoz had some chance to leave the Metropolitano club.

It should not be forgotten, in the case of the Frenchman, that he suffered a serious injury last season that left him out of action. However, despite the fact that he has fully recovered, the message from Atlético de Madrid has been very clear. In the first call-ups, for one reason or another, Thomas Lemar has been left out of the list.

The former Celta player , one of Atlético de Madrid 's big bets last summer, is in a similar situation. The truth is that, unlike his teammate, Javi Galán has had some offers. Galatasaray and Besiktas even negotiated with Diego Pablo Simeone 's team to secure his services.

In fact, if either Javi Galán or Thomas Lemar had left the club, there would have been more signings. However, the fact that neither of them ended up leaving Atlético Madrid closed the market. In this way, Diego Pablo Simeone will have to count on two players that he was not counting on.

Atlético de Madrid, looking to get on track for a season that could be crucial

After confirming the permanence of these two players for Diego Pablo Simeone 's team, Atlético de Madrid want more. The victory at San Mamés was fundamental for the red-and-whites, who must take several steps forward. Thanks to having kept several clean sheets, they are beginning to achieve this objective.

With Javi Galán and Thomas Lemar now fully members of the first team, Atlético de Madrid have a clear idea. They must continue to grow in all competitions and be effective in all aspects. Only in this way will they be able to achieve all their objectives for the season that is starting.
