Atletico Madrid

Legacy 🫴

🚨🇪🇸 Atlético Madrid are set to receive at least €1.5m from Rodri’s transfer to Barça, while Villarreal will receive €1.625m. If all bonuses are met, Atleti’s share could rise to around €2m, while Villarreal’s could reach €1.875m. This is thanks to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, which compensates clubs that trained a player between the ages of 12 and 23. The total solidarity contribution amounts to 5% of the transfer fee, with clubs entitled to 0.25% per year between the ages of 12 and 15 and 0.5% per year between 16 and 23. [mundodeportivo]

‼️ Matias Fernandez-Pardo, whom Atleti recently made an offer of €35m and was rejected, is keen to secure a major transfer and refused to play in a friendly against Everton in an attempt to apply pressure. “It’s not the player who decides when he leaves,” Lille president Olivier Létang told L’Équipe.

🚨🇪🇸 JUST IN: Arnau Ortiz and Carlos Martin, were among the standout performers in the friendly against Marseille, are putting themselves in contention to start the league opener against Malaga on Wednesday. They both formed an attacking trident with Lookman in today’s session, in what appeared to be a 4-3-3: Oblak; Boñar, Le Normand, Hancko, Grimaldo; Koke, Barrios, Mendoza; Carlos Martín, Arnau, Lookman Both are emerging as attacking options for Cholo, although he may consider keeping one of them on the bench so that he has some extra firepower for the second half. marca

🚨🇦🇷 The feeling around Julián Alvarez is beginning be somewhat different compared to his first few days back in training. Today, he kept his head down but began to show his true quality on the training pitch. He is becoming more involved in the tactical practice matches organized by Simeone, while his teammates could also be heard shouting words of encouragement to him. At the end of the session, Julián walked toward the dressing room while having a long, relaxed conversation with Kang-in Lee, with Lookman joining them. Julián Alvarez will not start against Málaga, and it remains to be seen whether he will be included in the matchday squad. However, at the moment, it appears that he will be. diarioas
