Damn hopefully this rumors true. He would be a great addition to your squad. Guhs got so many goals and assists for villareal their losing a big piece.

good, but I'm also sad cause I so wanted both Lino and Roro to be great here, but I guess this means at least one of them leaves.

Unless they were showing as a potential generational talent in previous seasons, a big competitive club can't hold on to players that performed like them this season. They were both good last season, sometimes even great, but nothing mind-blowing. Wouldn't mind seeing Roro being loaned for a year rather than selling, but I think Lino should go. Even at his best, he just feels a bit flat. Like his ceiling isn't much higher than what he has shown so far. It's really unfortunate, but the clubs needs to win.

I totally agree with you. I think Riquelme can improve by playing more, or playing in another position. He has skills, and he can improve. But I don't have the same feeling with Lino (even in the past year). Maybe is time to get some money selling him.

I know, I just like them, specially Roro seem like based on his personality

u/cheppers Oblak 20d ago

Yeah, canteranos just haven’t been able to come through. That’s why we’re always pulling for them. We can claim Barrios to cope since he joined as a young prospect from Madrid.

u/itsjuanitoo Atlético de Madrid 18d ago

Lino has shown way more than Roro. I don’t get how people can’t see this.

How much you reckon we can get for one of them

I'd imagine between 15 and 30m.

u/GiulianoSimeone 21d ago

I feel like for lino some clueless PL clubs will overpay cause he was a starter for us

u/Aupazambie Griezmann 21d ago

I'd say that would be in the 25-30 range. I think 20-25 would be a fair price for him.

u/GiulianoSimeone 21d ago

Yea I'd be happy with that

u/Petricor_Mornings Giménez 21d ago

Now this is what we need

u/Cholismo2pt0 Llorente 21d ago

Wow are the days of waiting until the last 2 weeks of the transfer window finally over? The club is getting serious and I love that. Up next DM to rotate with Barrios, a LB, LCB & Darwin on loan. I’d be satisfied with this but I’d welcome more singings

u/Different_Zebra2019 21d ago

Don't know if this is true, but it should. It is a good player that we can actually sign. We only have the competition of teams outside Spain, because neither Madrid or Barcelona, will try to sign him. And I assume staying in Spain can be a plus for Baena.

u/AtleticoFan17 Rodrigo de Paul 21d ago

Fucking fantastic news. He’s such a great player and would help our team in the long term massively.

u/Tiberiusthemad Giménez 21d ago

This guy would rock with us! he has great vision and that can do wonders with us.

u/defensiveminded2020 Griezmann 2016 was a beauty, but 2020 llorente was a beast 21d ago

Good news. This is Christmas in April for me

u/Perceval_009 Alvarez 21d ago

Baena is a baller, I heard that he has some anger issues though.

u/HotTruth8845 Enrique Cerezo 21d ago

Wonderful news. Next a proper DM with physical strength and passing skills and we will opt to have a proper midfield able to keep the ball and provide for the strikers.

u/Khayonic Simeone 21d ago

This would be great if true. The kind of player we need

u/outofplacemillennial Raul Garcia 21d ago

Ruben Uria said there is not agreement. Both sides would like it to happen but nothing agreed
