A very painful departure could be approaching for Atlético: the fans are unhappy

The Atlético de Madrid youth player could seek a loan in the first division to gain minutes next season

In recent weeks, Atlético de Madrid 's arrivals have been the focus of attention. And with good reason, the signings of Robin Le Normand , AlexanderSorloth , ConorGallagher and JuliánÁlvarez have given the squad a significant leap in quality. However, in terms of departures, there are still several issues to be resolved that remain open today.

One of them is the future of CarlosMartín , a player who has raised great expectations among Atlético de Madrid fans. The promising Atlético de Madrid youth player has been one of the stars of the preseason after his contract renewal. To do so, the club carried out a great audiovisual work with several photos, videos and interviews that hinted that the forward could stay in the first team next season.

However, the arrivals of ConorGallagher and JuliánÁlvarez could disrupt Atléticode Madrid 's plans. Diego Pablo Simeone could have an excessive "overbooking" in the forward and attacking midfield areas, something that would make it difficult for Carlos Martín to enjoy many opportunities. He will not be playing as a right extrem either, the position where the Argentine has used him the most in preseason, as he would have to fight for the position with Marcos Llorente and NahuelMolina .

A transfer on the horizon

It is therefore not surprising that Atlético de Madrid are beginning to consider a solution. It is clear that Carlos Martín has great potential that he must continue to hone with minutes and opportunities, something that Simeone could not guarantee him. Thus, several LaLiga teams are aware of the situation of the 22-year-old attacker, and have already asked about a loan.

The club that is most likely to secure his services is Deportivo Alavés . According to Diario Marca, in Vitoria they see CarlosMartín as the perfect successor to Giuliano Simeone , who seems likely to form part of the first team . The refusal of the Atlético club has forced Mendizorroza 's team to speed up negotiations to close the deal as soon as possible.

A destination that has previously been very positive for players like SamuOmordion , or Cholo 's own son. Although neither of them were able to produce great numbers, they brought out one of their best versions together with Luis García . The Spanish coach is an expert in squeezing out the great qualities of youngsters regardless of the experience they have in the First Division .

The same could happen with CarlosMartín , who has not played a full season in LaLiga . He did play last year in the SecondDivision with Mirandés , being his first experience outside the First and Second RFEF . It was in Anduva where he showed his unprecedented potential, scoring 15 goals and giving 3 assists , becoming one of the top scorers in the competition, and helping the club stay up.

In this way, it seems that the captain of the Atléticode Madrid B team could go out on loan again, much to the disappointment of the fans. We will have to wait to see what the final intentions are of a DeportivoAlavés that is aware of how important it is to have players like Carlos Martín in its ranks. That is why we will have to keep a close eye on the coming days, to find out what the future holds for one of the great idols of the red and white youth team.
