The new scenario of the Belgian player resets the transfer strategy of the mattress team
After receiving the slam of FC Barcelona, now Carrasco has no intention of leaving Atlético de Madrid this summer. Simeone should be happy, since the Belgian was one of his favourites. However, Atlético’s sales plan now points to another player who was called to be important this year.
As we know, the intention of the rojiblanco club was to sell the Belgian winger for a figure close to 20 million euros. But the term for FC Barcelona to exercise its purchase option has expired without the operation being carried out. That is why Atlético de Madrid has to look for alternatives to Carrasco in its squad.
Carrasco changes Atlético’s initial plans
This outcome has led Atlético de Madrid to rethink their strategy, and as a consequence, they have decided to put Samuel Lino on the market. The young player returns to the mattress team after an outstanding loan at Valencia CF, where he had a great season. However, competition for his position has intensified due to Carrasco’s stay at the clubwho is emerging as the undisputed owner.
The board of Atlético de Madrid has taken the decision to put Samuel Lino on the transfer market, with the aim of obtaining income and lightening the staff in that position. Several teams have shown interest in the young talent and one of them is Braga. The Portuguese club has expressed its interest in acquiring the services of Lino, who would fit into his sports project.
Samuel Lino aims to leave without even debuting
the sale of Samuel Lino represents an opportunity for Atlético de Madrid to obtain additional income and balance your finances. In addition, the decision is also motivated by the need to give continuity and playing minutes to the young talent, something that could be difficult in a team with Carrasco as a starter in the same position.
Be that as it may, Carrasco aims to be the starter for Atlético de Madrid the next season. Simeone trusts him and Samuel Lino aims to be the big victim. It was as it was, it will be necessary to expect to see how resolves the situation. But the club does not plan to have two players of starting caliber for the same position, as it could generate a climate of tension in the dressing room.
