Rumblings and tumblings in Atletico’s back line – Soyuncu to leave before unpacking his bags

Caglar Soyuncu is the chosen centre-back to leave Atletico by the end of January. The Turkish player, who arrived on a free transfer just over six months ago, could be facing his last days with Atletico if one of the offers that have been coming to the Metropolitano in recent weeks is finally completed.Several teams (Fenerbahce and Porto and Premier League teams) have approached to inquire about the former Leicester player. Diego Simeone’s club insists that there is no agreement with any of the interested parties, but he could indeed leave the club if a team is willing to pay what is requested for the centre-back.##NAJAVA_MECA_7805400##The position Soyuncu occupies is significant, as the sports management led by Andrea Berta believes it is the only position with surplus players. With Savic, Gimenez, Hermoso, Azpilicueta, Reinildo, and the converted Witsel, there are more than enough resources to face a possible departure of a player who has not quite fit in despite impressing in pre-season, especially in the match against Manchester City.However, the official season has been a different story. He has barely played, and his first two starts against Athletic Club and Getafe resulted in a penalty and a red card that were decisive for Atletico to earn only one point out of six. In any case, the future of a player who is not ruled out to stay must be resolved in the next two weeks.#AtleticoMadrid are open to letting Caglar Soyuncu leave the club this month, just six months after joining from #LCFC.

The former had interest from the Arab football world at the end of the season, but there are currently no offers that have reached Atleti. The latter is still contemplating his future, with his contract expiring on 30 June, but there have been no updates in recent weeks. He has had a reduced contract extension offer for months but is considering the market and possible options before deciding whether to end, or not, his five years with Atletico.
