It cannot be ruled out that there will be more departures from Atlético Madrid before the transfer window closes. One of the players whose future is still up in the air is Samu Omorodion , who was very close to leaving for Chelsea . The Olympic champion has been training for several days under Simeone 's orders, but there are still teams interested in signing him.
Specifically, there are two clubs Italy are looking for a way to sign the Spanish player. For the moment, his future is a mystery , as the red-and-white team will achieve the necessary sale thanks to Joao Felix . If he leaves, Samu Omorodion could only leave the squad if a satisfactory offer for both parties arrives.
Italy calls up Samu Omorodion
The forward from Melilla is one of the biggest projects in Europe after making his debut in the elite last season. Atlético de Madrid paid his six million euro release clause and Samu Omorodion scored nine goals in LaLiga . In addition, in all his public statements he made it very clear that his main objective was to have a chance in the red and white team.
However, Chelsea had been pushing hard all summer to secure his signing and were close to achieving it. At the Metropolitano they had accepted an offer of just over 40 million euros to allow the former Granada player to leave. However, the London team backed out and left Samu Omorodion 's future unclear.
Now, as Di Marzio has pointed out, Juventus and Napoli are reportedly interested in signing the player . In the case of the Turin team, they are looking for Atlético Madrid to accept a loan, something that is ruled out. For its part, Napoli is very close to selling Victor Osimhen , leaving a vacant place in the forward line that the Spaniard could fill.
Debut in Villarreal
For now, the recent Olympic gold medallist could have the opportunity to play his first minutes with Atlético de Madrid against Villarreal . The red-and-whites debut tomorrow in the league championship with a complicated away match where Samu Omorodion would be expected. The Spaniard has completed a new training session and hopes to have a chance before Simeone .
The Colchoneros will play four matches of the domestic championship before the transfer window closes. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the squad will undergo numerous changes before the start of September, something that is more than usual. For now, Simeone must make his first list of players called up while the sporting management continues working on several operations.
