Nothing has gone according to plan for Atletico Madrid this season. After years of continuous growth, the current campaign is probably the most disappointing one in Diego Simeone’s tenure.

Not only did the Colchoneros fail to get through the UEFA Champions League group stage – not even dropping to the Europa League -they have also struggled in LaLiga as they’re 13 points behind leaders FC Barcelona.

Additionally, Atleti lost to city rivalsReal Madrid in the Copa del Rey. That’s why the club has reportedly started to think about the summer transfer window, in which they plan to make a free move that would infuriate the neighbors.
