Reports today indicated that French player Thomas Lemar is close to transferring to a new Spanish club, having completely fallen out of favor with his current team, Atletico Madrid, for the upcoming period.

According to the Spanish newspaper "AS", Atletico Madrid has decided to part ways with the player and loan him to Girona for one season. The two parties have reached a final agreement regarding the loan contract, and Lemar is expected to sign his contracts in the coming hours unless unexpected developments arise.

Lemar has a contract with Atletico Madrid until 2027, but he has only participated in 128 minutes over eight matches last season after suffering an Achilles tendon rupture in 2023, which limited his playing opportunities.

This move is part of Atletico Madrid's management plan to reduce salaries and achieve financial discipline, as several players have left the team this summer. Lemar is also looking for an opportunity to regain his form and consistency on the pitch.
