As: Saul will not stay at Atletico Madrid and will continue to be loaned or terminated directly

According to the Spanish media "As", Saul ended his loan in Seville and returned to Atletico Madrid, becoming a hot potato for the club again, and he still has a one-year contract. Saul will no longer wear Atletico jerseys, everything points to a new loan or a termination agreement.

Saul did not stay in Seville, they had a new sports management and a new coach, and Saul was not in their plan. At the competitive level, players' performance during loan periods fails to meet expectations, and it is difficult to make appropriate arrangements at the economic level. For this loan, Sevilla paid Saul's salary of 1 million euros, while Atletico Madrid paid another 6 million euros.

In 2021, after losing its absolute main position and some friction caused by the players' unwillingness to play as a left-back, Saul joined Chelsea on loan at the last moment of the transfer window. He did not perform well in the Blues and the buyout clause was not activated, so he returned. In the next few summer windows and even a certain winter window, Saul also had a chance to leave the team, but was rejected by the players himself in some cases, and his high financial demands hindered the conclusion of any agreement. In the 23-24 season, Saul once became the league's assist king, but he lost motivation again until he fell into a bad moment. The club informed Saul that it was not in the plan and even discussed possible termination, but the only way to achieve it successfully was to loan Sevilla. After 26 appearances, a total of 1,690 minutes, a goal and 6 assists, Sevilla did not leave Saul.

Saul is no longer part of Atletico's plan and is looking for a solution. The player's market valuation is only 3 million euros, far lower than the 90 million euros worth at its peak. At that time, Bayern, Barcelona and Manchester United had asked about Saul's situation. With the transfer fee this summer, Atletico understands that they will have to subsidize suitors and bear a large portion of Saul's salary. Otherwise, Saul would accept the termination.
