Atlético prepares an exit that is being demanded loudly

Atlético de Madrid has an important task at hand for the winter transfer market: to offload players with little participation or whose high wages weigh heavily on the club's balance. One of the standout names in this regard is Thomas Lemar, a signing who has never lived up to expectations and could be classified as one of the major disappointments in recent years at the club.

The Frenchman arrived at Atlético in the summer of 2018 from Monaco in an operation that cost around 72 million euros. However, since his arrival, Lemar has constantly battled injuries and a lack of consistency, failing to become a key piece for Diego Pablo Simeone. His current situation is even more discouraging: after an Achilles tendon rupture that kept him out for a large part of the previous season, he has only played 28 minutes in the current campaign.

Lemar has no place at Atlético de Madrid

As reported by 'Eldesmarque,' with a contract until 2027, his continuity in the team presents a dilemma both from a sporting and economic perspective. The excellent form of players like Koke, Pablo Barrios, Rodrigo de Paul, and Marcos Llorente further complicates the scenario for Lemar, who also finds his chances limited on the wings due to the performances of Samu Lino, Rodrigo Riquelme, and Nahuel Molina.

Atlético will seek ways to facilitate his departure in January, whether through a loan or transfer, although doubts about his physical condition and lack of competitive rhythm complicate the operation.
