Pablo Barrios' subtle gesture to fire Samu Omorodion: not suitable for the sensitive

The red and white youth player maintains a very good relationship with the forward, who will be a new Chelsea player.

Pablo Barrios is one of the idols of the red and white fans since his emergence into the first team a couple of seasons ago. The man from Madrid has become one of Atlético de Madrid's greatest promises and is called to be one of the club's emblems in the coming years. His dedication, personality and strong character make Barrios a leader, something that at his young age is striking and hopeful for the future.

One of the players with whom the young red-and-white pearl gets along best is Samu Omorodion , with whom he shares a dressing room in the Santi Denia U-21 team . The international striker has not made his debut for Atlético , who have decided to sell him to Chelsea to be able to deal with the operation for Julián Álvarez . Upon hearing the news of his transfer, Barrios gave him a loving gesture as a sign that he will be missed in Madrid.

Pablo Barrios' gesture to say goodbye to his friend

Shortly after the signings of Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez for Atlético de Madrid were confirmed, the entire locker room knew that this meant goodbye to Omorodion . Once Fabrizio Romano published the statement on both operations, Barrios took advantage of the moment to say goodbye to his friend and partner through Instagram. On his social networks, the Atlético midfielder took a selfie with Omorodion and attached two sad emoticons as a sign that he will miss him.

In addition to the selfie, Barrios already commented on one of his publications in response to his partner with the same sad faces. Both aware of the situation, it will be hard for them to have to separate their paths, which they hope to unite in the future and continue doing so in the Spanish National Team . Although it is a good move for the forward, the reality is that Omorodion wanted to succeed as a red and white player, something that is already difficult to achieve.

A pro athlete

Since arriving at the beginning of last season, the young forward always had success at Atlético de Madrid in mind. Sadly, his dream will not come true, given that his move to Chelsea is very close to being officially confirmed and he will say goodbye to the colchoneros. At the expense of being able to return in the future, Samu Omorodion has been crucial in Atlético 's two commercial bombshells and deserves to leave with his head held high.

Omorodion Dominoes

He was the one who triggered that famous domino effect that the latest additions to Atlético de Madrid have had. Without Omorodion the operation would not have been understood, which would never have been completed, so his role has been more important than many people believe. Saddened to have to say goodbye, given his quality and his hunger to succeed as a red and white, the Colchonera fans support their forward and wish him all the luck in the world.
