Girona emerge as favourites to land Atlético Madrid star | OneFootball

Girona are closing on a loan deal for an out-of-favour member of the attacking ranks at La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid.

That’s according to journalist Alex Luna, citing French outlet L’Equipe, who point towards Thomas Lemar as the player in question.

Former Monaco man Lemar is widely expected to be on the move before the summer is out.

No longer part of the plans of boss Diego Simeone following another injury-ravaged campaign in 2024/25, the Frenchman is understood to be drawing interest from a number of Spanish clubs.

Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo are two such sides considering a loan swoop for Lemar with a view to next season.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then the 29-year-old’s most likely landing spot appears to be Girona.

As per a report from Alex Luna:

‘According to L’Equipe, Girona are the team closest to securing Thomas Lemar on loan. There is also interest from Rayo Vallecano and Celta.’
