Atletico Madrid: Defensive Trio Depart

Tletico Madrid said goodbye to his left -back Reinildo.

The expiring contract is also not extended in the 44-time Spanish international César Azpilicueta. The 35-year-old has had a 54 competitive player in the dress of Atletico Madrid since moving from Chelsea in 2023 and met once.

Axel Witsel also has to go

The outgoing trio completes Axel Witsel.

In 2022 Witsel ventured from BVB to the Spanish Laliga to Atlético Madrid. The 36-year-old Belgian contract is not extended three years later.

In the three years in red-white blue, the defensive man was 116 times around and scored three times and assisted two more times. Especially in the past season, Witsel did not go beyond the role of a supplementary player with only 14 missions.
