Atletico Madrid hopes to be relatively busy in the last days of the winter transfer window, with a new midfielder searched for the Diego Simeone team. However, there may also be one or two departure in the same position, with Thomas Lemar and Rodrigo de Paul speculating in recent days.
Lemar is out of favor of Atleti and the club hopes to get his wages off the books. The situation of the Paul is different because he is considered a very important player, but he recently attracted the interest of Premier League.
Earlier this week it was reported that Athleti had saved an offer from West Ham United, which it was believed to be in the region of € 25 million. Los Colchoneros has no plans to separate, and the Argentinian midfielder also does not think to leave, as he told the media on Tuesday in a press conference (via MD).
“I always think of goals in the short term. It would be a mistake to think beyond the game of tomorrow. We want to participate in all competitions. The energy and my head will be set tomorrow. I think I have always felt and they made me feel an important part of the team. Everyone has a role in the groups and try to fulfill it. I have never settled in my career and I will not do that. I feel comfortable and happy. When the work and people appreciate you, it feels satisfying, but the most important thing is how Athleti is doing – and we are doing very well. “
De Paul is only in contract in Atletico Madrid until the end of next season, so it would be no surprise to see the negotiations open between the two parties in the coming months, since Los Colchoneros wants to lose any of their most important midfielders in a lower price in Summer.
