Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 54881, member: 636"] Atletico Madrid prepares to send French midfielder Thomas Lemar to Girona through a season-long loan arrangement. The Spanish publication AS confirms both clubs have finalized terms for the temporary transfer. Lemar faces an imminent contract signing after extensive negotiations between the organizations. His departure stems from limited playing time under the current management at the Wanda Metropolitano. The 29-year-old seeks regular minutes to rebuild his professional reputation. Lemar appeared in just eight matches during the previous campaign. His 128 total minutes reflected reduced involvement following a serious Achilles injury sustained in 2023. The setback severely hampered his contributions to Diego Simeone's squad rotation. Atletico maintains his registration through the 2027 season despite the loan move. The club pursues salary reduction strategies through player departures this summer. [/QUOTE]
