After a unsuccessful season in the Champions League, Madrid's "Atletico" club is forced to take measures to stabilize its financial situation.

"Cadena SER" reports that the "mattresses" have put these four players "on the market": Joao Felix, Yannick Carrasco, Thomas Lemar, and Rodrigo de Paula.

T. Lemar has been plagued by injuries lately, while J. Felix does not always find his role in the "Atletico" team and is particularly unstable. The other two players, Carrasco and de Paula, also lack stability.

"Atletico" currently occupies fourth place in the "La Liga" championship and will continue to strive to stay in the top four and return to the Champions League next season.

According to Matteo Moretto, the Madrid club still fully believes in head coach Diego Simeone.
