Girona eye Atletico Madrid outcast as Diego Simeone demands exit

Atletico Madrid is planning even more squadron outputs before the start of the season 2025/26 LA Liga season next month.

Diego Simeone wants to rebuild his team, on the back of a trophy -free campaign 2024/25 in the Spanish capital, with various new faces that already land.

The Argentinian coach has already discharged a number of long -term players, including midfielder Rodrigo de Paul who is on loan at MLS -side Inter Miami after extensive conversations.

The Paul will not be the last player to leave the Estadio Metropolitano, but Simeone may have completed its incoming activities after an important edition.

SIMEONE has already spent an estimated € 155 million on transfer costs on either side of Atletico Madrid's FIFA Club World Cup exit in the group phase in the US.

Defensive duo Marc Pubill and David Hancko are the latest arrivals and Simeone needs sales to balance the books.

Simeone raised only € 16 million on the outgoing front, with Rodrigo Riquelme and Angel Correa who continue to Real Betis and Tigres.

Saul Niguez has been released as a free agent to become a member of Flamengo and could continue that pattern.

Thomas Lemar is still in the books in Atletico Madrid, but Simeone is desperate to discharge the French international.

Injury has influenced the seven seasons of Lemar in Madrid, but he has not started a competition match for Simeone since September 2023 and the 29-year-old remains on the sidelines.

Los Rojiblancos is not looking for transfer costs, after having paid € 70 million for him in 2018, in the midst of a striking turnout as Monaco.

According to reports from L'Equipe, Girona is also interested in a scope of a seasonal loan agreement for 2025/26, with Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna and Celta Vigo.

Lemar was contracted to Atletico Madrid until 2027 and the club is open to a release, but the sides above only look at a loan with part of its wages.
