Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion has been left in limbo this summer, after his prospective move to Chelsea collapsed, following the English side’s decision to change the conditions at the last minute. His future remains uncertain.
While before the Chelsea deal Atletico were briefing that they would be hanging onto Omorodion this summer, it appears the arrivals of Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez have altered their and his thinking. Now it looks as if he will depart the Metropolitano almost come what may.
🚨🇪🇸 JUST IN: Atlético Madrid needs to sell players, and Rodrigo Riquelme could be one of the departures. Atleti would want €25/30m for him.
Roro is happy at Atlético. The player is not considering anything other than staying with the club of his life.

Matteo Moretto has revealed on Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing that in addition to two Italian giants, and numerous La Liga sides, more than one Bundesliga side has shown interest in the 20-year-old Olympic gold medallist. Previously only Bayer Leverkusen in Germany had been linked with him, but it appears there may be more suitors in the offing.
It is also noted that Atletico will not consider a loan deal as things stand, which would rule out the majority of La Liga options for Omorodion. With just under two weeks to go in the transfer window, it seems likely that some form of movement will take place, as dominoes begin to fall across Europe.
