The adventure of Saul Ñíguez at Sevilla FC has ended without glory. The midfielder from Alicante, who arrived on loan from Atlético de Madrid hoping to rediscover his best form, has left more doubts than certainties. His performance has been well below expectations, leading the decision in Nervión not to extend his stay beyond this season.

Despite playing in 26 matches and being on the field for over 1,600 minutes, his influence on the game has been very limited. He has barely scored one goal and provided six assists, modest numbers that do not justify the investment that the Andalusian club made in him last summer. The player has shifted from a potential key piece to becoming irrelevant in Francisco Javier García Pimienta's plans.

Atlético does not want him back

Now, Saul will return to Atlético de Madrid, where he is under contract until June 2026, but he also does not have a guaranteed spot. Diego Simeone does not include him in his plans at the Metropolitano, prompting the red and white club to seek options in the market to facilitate his exit.

One of the more natural options, Elche, has also been ruled out. Despite the player's personal ties to the city, the Elche entity does not consider signing him due to past tensions with his family.
