During the final stages of the summer transfer window, Atletico Madrid were determined to sign a midfielder. They considered numerous options, but in the end, none came – this also meant that Thomas Lemar ended up staying, despite the club's owners wanting him to be moved.
Samu Omorodion responds to claims made by @rubenuriawho said the following:
“It is a lie that Samu trained separately at Atlético Madrid.”
“The story I was told is not like that.”
“Atleti sent a doctor to London to make sure he was healthy.”

According to AS Diaryone player that Atleti tried to sign was Ismail Yuksek. A loan offer of 3 million euros was presented by Los Colchoneros, although Fenerbahce rejected his refusal because they only consider a sale – and this for 10 million euros.
Since Lemar almost certainly has no future at Atleti, they will look to move him in January. When he goes, a replacement will be needed, and it is believed that Yuksek is still on the club's radar.
This could be one to keep an eye on for 2025, although it will also depend on how good the financial situation is. Atletico Madrid.
