Atlético Madrid's pre-season tour of China is on the verge of collapse

Atlético Madrid, like many clubs, conducts pre-season preparations abroad. This year, the "Colchoneros" chose China as their destination. However, recent reports from Relevo indicate that they might not make the trip.

The issue revolves around payment problems from the tour promoters, putting the entire tour at risk. This problem may also affect the pre-season tours of Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.

If the issue remains unresolved and the tour gets canceled, Atlético Madrid's management will seek alternative locations in another Asian country. This move aims to expand the club's commercial influence in the region, and the club's leaders have already started implementing a "Plan B."

On the brighter side, Atlético Madrid still has positive news. They are still expected in Hong Kong, and their match against Manchester City in Sweden remains scheduled.

In the recently concluded La Liga season, Atlético Madrid finished fourth, behind Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Girona. In the Champions League, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Borussia Dortmund, who went on to become finalists.
