Atlético de Madrid is very close to securing the continuity of one of its great promises. Rayane Belaid, the young talent from the colchonero reserve team, is in the final stages of negotiations to renew his contract. Both the player and the club wish to remain united, and talks with his agents are moving in the right direction.
The footballer of Algerian origin has been one of the great sensations of Atlético de Madrid B this season. His quality, vision of the game, and ability to make a difference in attack have caught the attention of several clubs. Although the rojiblanco team is clear that his future should be at the Metropolitano.
If everything goes as planned, the renewal agreement could be signed in the coming weeks. Atlético's idea is clear: secure his continuity and then seek a loan that will allow him to develop in professional soccer. Everything will depend on how the season ends and if the rojiblancos can even fight for promotion to Segunda División.
The Premier and LaLiga, Attentive to His Situation
The great performance of Rayane Belaid has not gone unnoticed. Several Premier League clubs have inquired about his situation, as well as some Primera División teams in Spain, like Deportivo Alavés. These approaches have caused some nervousness in Atlético de Madrid, which doesn't want to lose one of its most promising gems.
Despite the interest from other teams, the footballer's desire is to stay with the rojiblanco team, knowing that the club trusts in his progression. He is considered a player with a lot of potential for the future, which is why the renewal agreement is a priority for both the management and his entourage. Atlético is clear that Belaid needs minutes in professional soccer to continue his growth.
Simeone Wants to See Him in Summer
A loan to a Segunda División team or even a lower-tier LaLiga team could be interesting for his development. While the final details of his renewal are being finalized, there is a possibility that Rayane Belaid may have the opportunity to debut with the first team under the orders of Diego Simeone.
His evolution has been impressive, and in case Cholo needs reinforcement in attack, the young talent could get his big opportunity. Atlético de Madrid knows it has a diamond in the rough in its hands. The priority is to secure him with a new contract and define the best strategy for his continued growth.
Fernando Torres continues to train a homegrown super talent, increasingly ready to make the leap to the first team. If all goes well, he could even debut before the end of the season, although for now, Simeone has not given him the opportunity. There is no doubt, it is known that it is only a matter of time before he makes his debut.
