Axel Witsel - Signs with Atleti Witsel joined Atletico Madrid on a one-year contract, it was announced Wednesday.
Impact Witsel has been one of the stalwarts of a golden generation in Belgium, racking up countless matches between clubs in Russia and Germany before his path brings him to the Spanish capital. A one-year contract is a good indicator that his role is likely that of filling out the depth in central-midfield, and a deeper position means his value isn't likely to be high no matter how much he plays.

Alvaro Morata - Back at Atletico Madrid Morata has returned to Atletico Madrid as Juventus did not pick up their option to acquire him permanently, Il Tempo reports.
Impact Morata has been a cornerstone over the last two seasons, but Juventus considered the price tag too high.

He logged 11 goals, seven assists, 79 shots (33 on target) and 55 chances in 42 appearances last season.

Ivo Grbic - Returns to Atleti Grbic will return to Atletico Madrid after Lille decided not to exercise the buy option of his loan contract.
Impact Grbic was expected to make a permanent move to France for the longest time but he lost his starting role to Leo Jardim late in the campaign which has changed Lille's mind about the player's permanent move. The keeper finished the season with 72 saves for five clean sheets in 27 starts across all competitions. He'll have to compete for some playing time in Spain with Jan Oblak and Benjamin Lecomte now.

Saul Niguez - Says goodbye to Chelsea Saul posted his goodbye on Twitter and will return to Atletico Madrid following the conclusion of his loan at Chelsea
Impact Saul managed just 15 appearances (six starts) across league and UCL play, as things didn't exactly work out for him at Chelsea. He started his first match with the team and then only made it 45 minutes and struggled to see consistent minutes the rest of the way with spot appearances in midfield and then on the left wing. It's unknown what the future holds for him, but it probably won't be in the Premier League.

Matheus Cunha - Has quiet game in season finale Cunha took a shot in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.
Impact Cunha had a curious first campaign in La Liga, tallying six goals and four assists mostly as an impact substitute with 29 appearances but only eight starts up front. But the 23-year-old has definitely showed enough promise since transferring from Hertha Berlin to believe he can continue growing into his role up front with Atletico next season.

Luis Suarez - Features in season finale Suarez played the final five minutes in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.
Impact Suarez will always be remembered by Atletico for his 21 goals that powered the club to the La Liga title in 2020/21, but the 35-year-old's age definitely started to show in this season and he started in just 20 league matches. Suarez still managed an impressive 11 goals despite his limited playing time, but he is expected to leave Madrid this summer after two very good campaigns overall.

Daniel Wass - On bench in season finale Wass was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Real Sociedad.
Impact Wass' January move from Valencia has not worked out so far, as he made one second half appearance against Barcelona on Feb. 6 before going down with a knee injury and not featuring again for Atletico from there on out. The 32-year-old midfielder will want to show that he's capable of producing better next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hector Herrera - On bench in season finale Herrera was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Real Sociedad.
Impact Herrera was given a spell in the XI when Geoffrey Kondogbia was out with a thigh injury in March, but the Mexican international has started just 16 La Liga matches across the last two seasons. The 32-year-old will be leaving the club in the summer after three mediocre campaigns individually since moving from Porto, though Atletico did win an impressive La Liga title in 2020/21. He is now set to move to MLS when his contract with the Houston Dynamo begins in July.

Geoffrey Kondogbia - Wins four tackles in win Kondogbia made two interceptions and won four of five tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.
Impact Kondogbia had a much-improved sophomore campaign with Atletico, tallying a goal, two assists and four clean sheets in 28 La Liga appearances (21 starts), as well as two clean sheets in seven Champions League starts. The 29-year-old had to fill in at center back in December, but was mostly paired with Koke as the first-choice defensive midfielders, a role that he should maintain next season.
MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yannick Carrasco - Creates three chances in win Carrasco made a block and created three chances in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad. He also won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Carrasco spent a chunk of the campaign from February to April on the bench or sidelined with injury, but he still ended up with six goals and six assists in 34 La Liga appearances (28 starts) this campaign, taking more overall shots (50) and creating more chances (54) than he had done since 2016/17. The 28-year-old can play anywhere along the left wing and he should remain Atletico's first-choice option on that side heading into next season.
