Riquelme, Samuel Lino, Sergio Camello and Giuliano Simeone take advantage of their assignments and force the mattress team to make important decisions
It had been a long time since Atlético de Madrid had not been successful with their loans. Rodrigo Riquelme, Samuel Lino, Sergio Camello or Giuliano Simeone have done very well this season. That is why everything indicates that these footballers will carry out the preseason with the first team of the Atlético de Madrid for Simeone to evaluate if they deserve to be under his orders the next season. And there is already a player that the Argentine coach wants yes or yes.
The truth is that all those on loan have shown a very good level, but some of them are still a bit green. This is the case of Giuliano Simeone, who aims to go out on loan this coming season again, but this time to a Santander League club. In this way, they are three options that Simeone has to decide on at Atlético de Madrid.
Atlético’s loanees perform at a good level
One of the most outstanding players this season has been Samuel Lino, who arrived at LaLiga last summer being a complete unknown and who has had a very good season. However, and although he is a very unbalancing player, his permanence in the team could depend on the departure of Yannick Carrasco.
With regard to Rodrigo Riquelme, it is one of the cases that offers the most doubts. At the club they are aware of his quality, but also that he could be left without a place in the team. And it is that Atlético is following in the footsteps of Kang-In Lee, who plays in a similar position. That is why they could choose to leave him on loan for one more season so as not to stop his projection.
Sergio Camello dazzles Simeone
Finally, it is worth noting Sergio Camello. The striker has had a very good season at Rayo Vallecano, where he has managed to beat players like Raúl de Tomás. That’s why he is one of the most likely to continue at Atlético de Madrid next season, as one of the priorities is the search for a new striker.
Thus, Sergio Camello is the forward that Simeone would like in the Atlético squad next season. Of course, his role could be that of second striker, since the departure of Álvaro Morata is expected and the club will look for a guaranteed striker in the market. Be that as it may, we will have to keep waiting to see how the rojiblanco market is resolved.
