Carlos Martín, a 24-year-old forward and until now a player of Atlético de Madrid, will play on loan at Hajduk Split until the end of the season after his move to Almería fell through due to documentation issues before the closing of the LaLiga transfer window. The agreement with the Croatian club was finalized on September 3 and includes a non-mandatory buy option.

His departure resolves a situation that was stuck on the last day of the transfer window in Spain. Martín was close to joining Almería, but the transfer couldn't be completed before 11:59 PM, leading the player and Atlético to seek a destination in a league with a still-open transfer period.

Carlos Martín Finds a Way Out at Hajduk Split

Hajduk Split capitalized on Croatia's extended transfer window until September 7 to strike a deal with Atlético within hours. The red and white club officially confirmed that Carlos Martín will play there for the remainder of the season.

The operation involves a loan arrangement and, as reported by Rubén Uría, includes a buy option that won't be mandatory. This condition sets it apart from the prior negotiations made with Almería.

Martín is under contract with Atlético de Madrid until 2029, having extended his deal before being loaned to Alavés in 2024. The forward has been part of Atlético's youth setup since 2008 and made his first-team debut in November 2021 against Osasuna.

His most productive spell away from Madrid came with Mirandés during the 2023/24 season. There, he played 40 games and scored 15 goals, numbers preceding his subsequent loans to Alavés and Rayo Vallecano.

The Deal with Almería Missed the Deadline

Carlos Martín was initially destined for Almería. Both clubs had a loan deal nearly sealed, but the required documentation for registration didn't reach LaLiga within the stipulated timeframe.

Almería claims the agreement was in place around 6:00 PM, with the final document submission delayed past midnight. The result was the collapse of that deal, which had different terms from the ones subsequently agreed with Hajduk.

The failure to complete that transfer left Atlético seeking an alternative outside Spain. Other clubs such as Valladolid, Tenerife, Castellón, and Levante had shown interest during the window, but none of those avenues materialized into an exit.

The move to Croatia also opens up the chance for Martín to compete in European competition, as Hajduk Split is involved in this season's Conference League. The forward's goal will be to gain playing time after several loan spells since breaking into the senior Atlético squad.

Carlos Martín's departure leaves Atlético de Madrid with a 24-player squad for the LaLiga campaign. The next decision point will come at the season's end, when Hajduk Split must assess whether to exercise the buy option or if the forward returns to Madrid with a contract valid until 2029.
