Atletico Madrid risk losing two key players for free this summer as contract negotiations stall

Atletico Madrid's fears are growing over the club's ongoing contract situation. Two key players, captain Koke Resurreccion and defender Mario Hermoso, will see their deals expire in the summer, meaning they are currently able to negotiate terms with other clubs.

Both players have shown the desire to continue at Civitas Metropolitano, but at this stage, their requests have not been met by Atleti, who have offered a significant decrease in salary to both as a way of reducing costs after their ongoing financial problems.

Relief they provided an update on the situation. They say that there is still no agreement between Atleti and any party, and the longer everything drags on, the more complicated things will become for Los Rojiblancos.

Losing Koke and Hermoso would be a massive blow for Atletico Madrid, especially considering they will struggle to replace him due to their money woes. A solution is needed, and soon.
