Saul Niguez

We have been talking about Saul since 2014. I honestly don't know how to feel about the prospect of us signing him after all those years.

Too weak and small for the prem if we don't sign him, blah blah....

he's about 6ft

Getting indirectly Barry'd.

Maybe he’s just buying himself a new driver?

Doesn’t he have like an 8 year contract or something

Bit of a silly thing to do either way.

Why? He’s clearly drawing attention to something that he’s going to launch - whether it be a real club or e-sports team. It’s called advertising.

He signed a 9 year extension in 2017

But atletico don't own him fully... They own 60% and a third party owns 40 and it seems complicated

If a club makes an offer and the third party want to sell but saul doesn't want it, atletico have to buy the 40% share

Odd that it's loaded against the club to an extent

Atletico sold the stake for 1.5 million when Niguez was 16

Think 3rd party deals are banned now but existing deals must be allowed to stand oddly
