Spanish midfielder
Saúl Ñíguez is apparently leaving Spanish titleholders Atlético to join Chelsea on Deadline Day after all. While the BBC reports about optimism at the Champions League winners regarding the transfer, Fabrizio Romano writes on Twitter that only details are still missing. The 26-year-old midfielder is on his way to London, where he is expected to sign a loan contract with an option to buy.
Update, 11:49 pm CET: Chelsea have confirmed the signing on Tuesday night. According to Romano, Saúl will join the Blues on an initial loan deal (fee: €5 million) with an option to buy worth €40 million.
The volume of the star transfer reportedly amounts to €40 million, a sum in line with market value – €5 million as a loan fee, €35 million as an option at the end of the season. Ñíguez, who is still under contract with his youth club until 2026, had been linked with a move for weeks, including to Manchester United.

Despite winning the title in the Spanish top flight, where the 19-time Spain international made 33 appearances (2 goals/1 assist) last season, his market value dropped from €90 million to €40 million since December 2019. “He may need a new challenge or a break,” Tobias Blaseio, Transfermarkt’s area manager Spain, said after the most recent market value update in June. Before that, Ñíguez had played his arguably weakest season for Atlético.
Saúl Ñíguez from Atlético to Chelsea – Griezmann to Atlético?
According to reports, the breakthrough in this transfer could lead to a chain reaction: Forward Antoine Griezmann will possibly return from FC Barcelona to Atlético. Meanwhile, Gonzalo Villar of AS Roma is considered a possible replacement for Ñíguez.
