His half-season loan to Chelsea didn’t pan out as expected, but after his return to Atletico Madrid, Saul Niguez regained the trust of Diego Simeone. The experienced midfielder made 38 appearances last season, although most came off the bench, and since he still has three years left on his contract, it is clear that the 28-year-old from Elche is in no rush to leave Madrid. Therefore, he decided to set quite high conditions for interested clubs from Saudi Arabia if they are really serious about hiring him.🚨🎙️| Saúl Ñíguez: “If an offer from Saudi Arabia arrives? Like any destination in the world, if you have to consider a departure. In my mind, it’s not about whether to leave or not, but about returning on July 7 with Atlético to work and show the level I have.” @diarioas pic.twitter.com/f93V6CzC3D— Atletico Universe (@atletiuniverse) June 27, 2023 It is mentioned that Al Nasr and Al Ittihad also want him, but both clubs will have to decide if they are ready to count as much as 20,000,000 per season for Saul. ‘AS’ writes that this is the figure that the universal midfielder has set as his salary and if his wish is fulfilled, he will become the highest paid Spanish footballer at the moment. At the same time, the Arabs will have to pay certain compensation to Atletico, considering that the player is tied with Madrid for another three years.El Cholo loves grit and steel, but sometimes he needs a bit of flair, too: Celta’s dribbler signs for AtletiAlthough Simone often counted on him during the last season, the Argentinian strategist probably would not mind selling Saul, considering that he is among the five highest paid players in the team, but contrary to his earnings, he is not either the leader in the locker room, nor is he a youngster which will be the cornerstone of the team in future years. Rayo Vallecano and Valencia also showed interest in the experienced footballer, but those clubs are unable to meet his financial demands, regardless of the fact that they would be smaller than those placed before the Arabs.Joao Felix would hate to return to Atletico – and PSG might be the club to save himIf the Arabs decide to give him the sum he asks, or if he changes his mind, Saul could play again with Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema. The first arrived at Al Nasr last season, and the second at Al Ittihad this summer. Among the famous names, Ronaldo got Marcelo Brozović as his new teammate yesterday, and Benzema has his countryman Ngolo Kante.##NAJAVA_MECA_7353328##
