Losing Ma❗Atel Madrid bought Lemar 72 million in 2018 and now rents out to bear 50% of the salary & only 5 million yuan left

July 27th, according to Romano yesterday, Girona reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid on loan, and Atletico Madrid will bear 50% of the players' salary during the loan period.

Lemar is the most loss-making deal at Atletico Madrid in recent years. In the summer of 2018, Atletico Madrid spent 72 million euros to introduce Lemar, who was only 22 years old at the time, and was popular from Monaco. In Monaco, he formed a forward line with Falcao and Mbappe, winning the team's Ligue 1 championship in the 2016/17 season. Lemar scored 14 goals and sent 18 assists that season.

But after joining Atletico Madrid at a high price, Lemar's efficiency plummeted, and he was frequently troubled by injuries. His value has been falling all the way, from 70 million euros at his peak to 5 million now.

In the just-concluded 2024/25 season, the 29-year-old Lemar played only 8 games for a total of 128 minutes, with no goals or assists. So far, Lemar has played 186 games for Atletico Madrid, scoring 10 goals and giving 19 assists, and his contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2027.
