Los Rojiblancos are not done just yet though. The word coming out of the Metropolitano has been that Los Rojiblancos are not thinking about a new arrival – unless there is a significant exit. Last week it emerged that Diego Simeone was still keen on bringing in a winger that can beat a defender in, and Juventus' Nicolas Gonzalez emerged as a potential addition were Nahuel Molina to leave. Cadena SER say that this remains the case with less than two weeks to go in the market. Atletico Madrid looking for Alexander Sorloth exit That exit could be Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian forward was the last that Simeone turned to in their Liga opener against Espanyol, and Objetivo Atleti say that he is unhappy that he is behind Giacomo Raspadori and Antoine Griezmann in the pecking order. He has now asked to leave the club as he does not want to be a bench player for a second season. The club, for their part, are open to an exit. They have told Sorloth that if he can bring in an offer of €35m, then he will be allowed to leave. Atletico also want to secure a substitute for him first. Matteo Moretto has confirmed this to be the case, and says that Atleti are searching for options for him. Napoli are have followed Sorloth in the past, but have not made contact with Los Rojiblancos. Dusan Vlahovic comes back into view Atletico have been linked with another Juventus player in Dusan Vlahovic over the last couple of years, and he remains a potential exit from the Bianconeri too.

Sign up for DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Atlético de Madrid makes its debut in the Club World Cup and it's not against just anyone. The PSG of Luis Enrique, current European champion after sweeping Inter Milan in the Munich final, is the first hurdle for Diego Pablo Simeone's team. Advertisement The first big match in the Club World Cup raises many questions about the red and white team. We reveal them! Griezmann... to the bench? We must admit that Antoine did not end the season in his best form. The years go by, and there were many voices suggesting that his leading role at Atlético de Madrid should give way to a new era at Atlético with Julián Álvarez as the spearhead. 📸 OSCAR DEL POZO - AFP or licensors Today is the first big test where we will find out what happens with Griezmann. Will the Frenchman continue to be a starter and reference in the attack or will we see him in the final 30' of the game to try to change the match? Will Sorloth continue to be the bet from the bench? A total of 20. Those were the goals that the Norwegian striker ended up scoring in his first campaign with Atlético. Advertisement Simeone bet on Sortloth coming off the bench, and although the numbers did not disappoint there are many who wonder: does it make sense that the top scorer of the squad is not a starter at Atlético? 📸 Florencia Tan Jun - 2025 Getty Images Today "starts" a new test for many and we will have to see if Simeone's bet regarding the former Villarreal player is the same, or we see him as an offensive reference alongside Julián in the attack front. Many doubts on the left wing Without a doubt, the left profile of Atlético de Madrid's squad is the one that raises the most doubts at this time of the season. 📸 GOKHAN TANER Advertisement Without signings, Simeone will start again with names like Javi Galán, Rodrigo Riquelme, Gallagher and Samu Lino for 2 positions. Logic suggests that Álex Baena will own the left attacking area once his signing is confirmed, and that the board will go all out to close Grimaldo, Robertson or Miguel Gutiérrez in the summer months, but for now the red and whites will have to play "with what they have" as they say.

Robert Lewandowski Passes Century As champions Barcelona Sign Off In Style
La Liga champions Barcelona celebrated a successful season with a 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in their final match, with Robert Lewandowski netting twice to pass his 100 goal milestone for the club. The veteran Polish forward, 36, reached 27 league goals for the season, although he finished behind Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe on 31. Barcelona wrapped up a domestic treble with Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cups wins, while fourth-place Athletic also had a fine season and returned to the Champions League for the first time in 11 years. Athletic defender Oscar de Marcos made his 570th and final appearance for the club, behind only Jose Angel Iribar, a goalkeeper who played 614 times in the 1960s and 70s, in the club's history. Even Iribar might not have saved Lewandowski's opener after the striker was fed by Fermin Lopez, brilliantly scooping over current Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon to put Barca ahead and rack up the Catalans' 100th league goal of the season. It also brought up a century of goals for Lewandowski in a Barcelona shirt since joining in 2022 from Bayern Munich, and another was soon to follow. Three minutes later Lewandowski nodded in at the back post after a corner was flicked into his path. "I am very happy, very proud to be part of this team, this club, it's been something amazing," Lewandowski told Barca One. "I try to do my best, not only with goals but my attitude on and off the pitch -- and there are so many young players we have to take care of them. "We did something great (this season) but we know we can still do a lot (more) things." Lewandowski missed two good chances in the second half as Barca tried to stretch their lead and sign off in style. In the Barcelona goal, Inaki Pena showed sharp reactions to tip a ball against the bar as a Pau Cubarsi deflection headed towards his own goal. Barcelona's 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal forced a smart save at his near post from Simon. The Catalans got their third when Dani Olmo won and then converted a penalty in stoppage time. After the game De Marcos gave a speech to fans at the San Mames and was thrown into the air by his team-mates. "I just want to thank everyone who has been there on (my) path," said the 36-year-old defender, who played 16 seasons at the club. "Next season I will be in the stands, as just another Athletic fan. "And I am sure that someone who is watching today, will be here on the pitch, representing us as Athletic." Sorloth super-sub Earlier Alexander Sorloth showed once again why he is such a dangerous option off the bench for Atletico Madrid as he came on to score a hat-trick in under half-an-hour in a 4-0 win at Girona. Diego Simeone's side continued their Club World Cup preparations in a dead rubber league match at Montilivi, with Atletico locked into third place and Girona safe from relegation. Introduced in the 62nd minute for Antoine Griezmann, Sorloth broke the deadlock after 68 minutes. Clement Lenglet extended Atletico's lead before Sorloth struck two more late on to reach 20 La Liga goals, 12 of those as a substitute. Sorloth hit four goals earlier this month against Real Sociedad, with the first three of those scored by the 11th minute, making it the earliest hat-trick in La Liga history. "La Liga is over but not the season," said Simeone, looking ahead. "We will rest now and from June 2 get back to training to focus on the Club World Cup."
