La Liga
Girona has finalized a significant addition to its squad: Thomas Lemar, a 29-year-old French international midfielder, will play on loan for a season after reaching an agreement with Atlético de Madrid. This operation represents a quality reinforcement for the team managed by Míchel, adding experience and creative talent to the midfield.
Lemar joined the colchonero team in 2018 after winning the World Cup with France and experienced an irregular period marked by shining moments and some injuries. His best performance was seen in the 2020/21 season when he was one of the offensive engines of the team that claimed the LaLiga title. During his time at Atlético, he played in 186 official matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists.

The need to gain playing time in a crucial stage of his career has led Lemar to accept this new challenge in Girona. In Míchel's system, he could fit in as a creative midfielder in a scheme that focuses on game control and pressing after losing possession. Additionally, the Catalan club is continuing to strengthen its sports project with the aim of maintaining the high level displayed in the previous season.
For Atlético, this loan also serves as a solution: it frees up wage budget and keeps the player active, while Girona bets on a player with international experience who can elevate the team's competitive level. Lemar arrives in Catalan football with the mission to rediscover his best form and prove that he still has a lot to offer in European football elite.
