One of the most complicated tasks year after year at Atlético de Madrid is being able to offload those footballers who are not performing at the required level. Obviously, there are different players who receive offers, but whose departure is not a necessity for the red-and-white team, not making it easy. Looking ahead to the summer, there will be pending tasks for the sports management, needing to make room in the squad for new reinforcements.
Already in the winter market, there were several names linked with different teams in Europe, although at the Metropolitano they did not want to close any departures. Once the current season ends, there are several names that are expected to end their time with the colchonero team, barring any surprises. One of the destinations that always comes knocking is Türkiye, where they would be interested in taking one of Simeone's discards next season.
Atlético de Madrid Seeks a Sale
The planning for the next summer will follow the path of last year, seeking to give another quality leap to their squad to compete for titles. However, before closing those reinforcements, the future of some footballers whose cycle at the Metropolitano has come to an end must be solved. The one who has been in a difficult situation for years is Thomas Lemar, one of those who has played the fewest minutes this season, something not surprising at all.

The French midfielder has always been in the running to leave the red-and-white team, but it has been impossible to find him a new destination. In winter, several teams in Türkiye emerged that might be interested in signing the world champion, although there are specific conditions. It is a country where high salaries are always offered, but they do not usually propose large amounts when it comes to paying transfer fees to the original clubs.
Türkiye Always Comes Knocking
In recent months, several players have been in the spotlight of Ottoman teams to close some possible deal. The latest was Alexander Sorloth, who has already played in Türkiye and for whom Besiktas had bid strongly to try to secure his loan until summer. However, the Norwegian forward is being vital for Simeone, scoring important goals and being a piece that helps in the rotation.
Another regular in this regard is Ángel Correa, although the Argentine international is also on the agenda of other foreign clubs like Rayados de Monterrey. In fact, the Mexican team has been the latest to show interest in the world champion, although the priority would be to stay in Madrid. His contract ends in 2026, and at the Metropolitano, they would be delighted for him to extend his bond for more years, although it will be the forward's decision.
