World Sports: DePaul & Saul absent from Atletico Madrid training and seeks transfer. Lange takes leave for personal reasons

Western media "World Sports" reported that Atletico Madrid completed its second pre-season training on July 22 this Tuesday, with DePaul, Saul, Johnny Cardoso and Langlet being absent. Langlei was absent for the second consecutive day due to personal reasons, and the club has approved him to take leave. He is expected to return to the team in the next few days. Among the four new players of the team, three of Baena, Rugeri and Thiago Almada train under Simeone. Saul and DePaul did not participate in training, and they missed the preseason because they needed to resolve the issue of where to go in the future.

Saur had an unexpected turn after the transfer to Türkiye's Trabzon Sports failed at the last moment and he would join Flamenco. DePaul may finalize a transfer to Miami International in the near future.

Gimenez failed to fully engage in training for the second consecutive day. He was injured in the Club World Cup and had muscle discomfort against the Seattle Bayer. Although he participated at the start of the training, he then left the training ground and missed the subsequent group match. Atletico Madrid does not want to take risks with Gimenes for prevention and ensuring full recovery.

According to Atletico Madrid official news, fourth new player Johnny Cardoso is expected to arrive "in the next few hours" and is likely to catch up with training this Wednesday.

Cardoso is eager to join Atletico Madrid. As previously reported, he has decided to shorten the holiday. He could have had a break until August 4 due to his participation in the Golden Cup, but he hopes to start training under Simeone as soon as possible.

Cardoso transferred from Betis, with a transfer fee of 25 million euros fixed + 7 million floating. The contract is a key signing for Atletico Madrid's 25/26 season until 2030.

In Betis' last season, Cardoso played 46 games, scored 4 goals and had 1 assist. Now, under the guidance of Simeone, he will seek to become the core pillar of Atletico Madrid's tactical system.
