On June 30th, the contracts of three Atlético Madrid players - Memphis Depay, Mario Hermoso, and Gabriel Paulista – expired, with the parties deciding not to renew their agreements, leaving the players as free agents.
Among them, only Paulista has secured a new club, joining Turkey's Beşiktaş. Hermoso and Depay remain without a team, but this may change soon.
According to Relevo, Hermoso is in the final stages of negotiations with Roma. Although he was previously linked with Villarreal and had reached a tentative agreement with Galatasaray, he ultimately chose the Italian club. It is reported that he will sign a two-year contract with the Giallorossi.
Meanwhile, Depay is expected to stay in Spain, as Sevilla has shown interest in his services, according to Estadio Deportivo. The club views him as a replacement for Lucas Ocampos and plans to finalize the deal soon, giving him a "mini-preseason" during the international break, as the Dutchman was not called up to the national team.
