After a relatively quiet July in the transfer market, August promises to be much more lively. With the Olympic Games over and the leagues set to resume, some teams should be finishing their shopping in order to refine their squad. So far, Atlético de Madrid have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer window. Usually rather quiet when it comes to opening their wallets, the Colchoneros have decided to rejuvenate a group that showed some limitations last year.
Thus, several aging executives were sold this summer, like Álvaro Morata, Stefan Savic and Saul Niguez. Departures that have already been compensated for by the astute arrivals of Alexander Sorloth and Robin Le Normand, two references in La Liga recruited for nearly 30 million euros each. To strengthen the midfield, the Matelassiers have decided to bet on Conor Gallagher, who has finally given his agreement to join the Iberian capital, while Javi Guerra could also settle down at Civitas Metropolitano. But it’s not over for the capital club which has ideas this summer.
Julian Alvarez to fill his pockets at Atlético Madrid
Indeed, the Colchoneros should also manage the imminent departure of Samu Omorodion to Chelsea. As a result, the Spanish board has already targeted his replacement in the person of Julian Alvarez. Desired for many weeks by the Atlético recruitment unit, the 24-year-old Argentinian striker should leave Manchester City to join Madrid this summer. According to the Argentinian media Olé Diarythere is no longer any doubt: the Argentinian world champion will sign for Atlético de Madrid in a few days. The transatlantic media took the opportunity to give the juicy details of this big operation.
Indeed, according to our Argentinian colleagues, Manchester City should make the biggest sale in its history by receiving 80 million euros from the Colchoneros, bonuses included. In addition to his sporting appeal for the project presented by the club from the Spanish capital, Julian Alvarez should also fill his pockets. Even if the difference will not be in his salary, which would be roughly the same as the one he receives at City, Julian Alvarez should come out a winner from this departure thanks to the percentage he will receive on his image rights. Only receiving 75% of the latter with the Skyblues, the former River Plate player should benefit from the entirety of the profits extracted from his image rights with the Matelassiers. In addition to being at the center of an exciting sporting project, the recent winner of the Copa América should also be even richer than at City…
