Atletico Madrid business in January transfer market hinges on exit

Atletico Madrid spent big in the summer, investing €185m in the likes of Julian Alvarez, Alexander Sorloth and Conor Gallagher. It seems unlikely that they will be doing much more in the near future, but if they are to act in the January transfer window, then there will be an exit first.

According to Diario AS, their January activity hinges on Thomas Lemar. The French midfielder is now back from injury again after a muscle issue, having played 28 minutes in October. He is not a key player for Los Colchoneros though.

13 years ago today, Diego Simeone was announced as the new Atlético Madrid coach.

The rest is history.

Thank you for everything, Cholo!
