Atletico Madrid 'open to Saul Niguez exit amid Liverpool, Manchester United links'

Atletico Madrid are reportedly willing to let midfielder Saul Niguez leave the club this summer, amid interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Juventus.

The 26-year-old is now seeking a fresh challenge away from the Spanish capital, despite the Colchoneros winning the La Liga title last season.

Saul was allegedly unhappy to have been substituted several times throughout the campaign and now feels that he is not regarded as an important player by Diego Simeone.

According to Marca, Liverpool, United and Juve are all monitoring the midfielder's situation and currently value him at around £47m.

In July 2017, Saul signed a nine-year contract with Atleti, which runs out in June 2026 and has a £150m release clause.

The Spanish giants were initially reluctant to sell Saul for anything less than his buyout clause, but due to the current financial climate, they are now set to lower their valuation of the player.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are also believed to be in the race to sign Saul, who has made 337 appearances for Atletico since making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2012.
