Another casualty of the Sporting Lisbon fiasco.
Portuguese talented winger who is still a bit raw for sure and inconsistent but has bags of potential. I feel like this could be an opportunity missed for us and no doubts we will be linked to him within a few years for silly money.
A Portuguese international winger with age on his side and lots of potential and we didn't seem to be in for him. Yet we supposedly want Willian, aged 30, for a king's ransom. Atletico are no mugs either so they must see the potential too and if he isn't all that they will probably make £20-30m profit.
Malcolm is another talented wide player who has moved to a big club in Barca this week. The players are out there.
Gelson Martins joins Atletico for free

He's only interested in Willian
I don't rate Gelson Martins as anything special tbh tho

They will have to pay a fee once it goes through the courts.

Yeah I read something about that but apparently it's not going to be huge money. Sporting players genuinely had a case for not feeling safe at work. The club let them down badly. Their fans should feel ashamed.

Have you paid the slightest attention to him before you read that he went there on a free?
If the answer is no, then the chances are that it is no great loss.

Same with us and Patricio. Sporting want 40m or something daft whereas the settlement amount will (hopefully) be no way near that figure.

He's been tipped for big things for ages. Not an unknown player. Pep has supposedly been interested in the past.

Atletico Madrid sign Gelson Martins as a 'free agent' but Sporting CP may demand up to €45m for deal. Similar to Wolves signing of Rui Patricio. Initially reported as a free transfer but likely eventual cost exceeding €30m.

Telson could have been our Mbappe on the right.

Why would be even want to go to United would probably end up playing right back

Don't know anything about Portuguese contract law but i would expect the fees to be nowhere near what is reported if there is any at all.
Being attacked at work is just cause. Undoubtedly.
