Saul Niguez has been transferred from Atlético de Madrid. The new club is not mentioned.

Saúl Ñíguez has officially joined Sevilla Fútbol Club on loan until June 30, 2025, with an option to extend for an additional season.

Saul Niguez has been loaned by his formative club, Atlético de Madrid, to Sevilla FC until the end of the season. The operation includes an agreement that allows the Andalusian club to extend the duration of the loan.

Saúl Ñíguez, the seventh player with the most appearances in Atlético Madrid's history (427), boasting 48 goals and 26 assists, has officially ended his contract to join Sevilla. He expressed his enthusiasm for playing at the Sánchez Pizjuán stadium. The clubs have agreed to a 'renewable loan,' with Sevilla covering most of the midfielder's substantial salary. His hefty 14 million euros gross salary was a key reason why Cholo Simeone decided not to depend on him any longer.

Saul Ñiguez has been loaned to Sevilla FC for the next season. This is his second loan from Atlético de Madrid after a previous stint at Chelsea during the 2021/2022 season. The clubs have also agreed on the possibility of extending the loan with Sevilla.

Saul Niguez will soon sign a contract with FC Sevilla. No transfer fee is due, and his contract with Atletico Madrid, which runs until 2026, will be terminated. Coach Diego Simeone had informed the 29-year-old that he no longer plans with him.

The midfielder did not train with Atlético as he has permission from the club to finalize his departure.

Atlético de Madrid is looking to find a new club for Saúl to accommodate their plans.

Atlético de Madrid is looking for an urgent exit for Saúl Ñíguez. The club believes it is essential to offload his contract to reduce their wage bill. Besides Sevilla, there are other potential destinations for the player.

Saul Ñiguez, who has been with Atlético de Madrid for most of his career except for loans to Rayo Vallecano in 2013 and Chelsea in 2021, is set to join Sevilla FC. Diego Simeone no longer counts on him. Saul is seeking to terminate his contract with Atlético, which runs until 2026.

Saúl Niguez has been informed by both the management and Diego Simeone that he is not part of Atlético Madrid's plans for the 2024/25 season. Despite his intention to stay, he has been told he must leave. The club needs to sell players to lower their salary cap, and his high salary of approximately 15 million euros gross per year makes his departure essential.

Saúl has been informed by both the club officials and coach Simeone that he is not part of Atlético's plans for the 2024-25 season. He has been advised to find a new team for the next campaign. Saúl earns a gross salary of 15 million euros, and his departure, along with other players like Savic and Hermoso, is crucial for Atlético to proceed with their squad renewal and salary cap management.

Saúl Ñiguez's future at Atlético de Madrid is uncertain, with the club reportedly wanting to get rid of his high salary, which is not in line with his performance. His contract, which runs until 2026, is worth 30 million euros gross, and it seems unlikely that another club will be willing to match this.

Atlético Madrid wants Saúl to leave due to his heavy contract of 7.5 million net. However, his contract does not expire until 2026 and there are no clubs ready to assume his salary. This has been an ongoing issue for the past few transfer windows.
