Transfer Market Movements Today in Europe After July 20, 2022
Oblak Will Continue to Be Atlético Madrid’s Goalkeeper
The Slovenian goalkeeper and Atlético Madrid will continue their relationship for five more seasons. The long-awaited renewal of Jan Oblak, a key player for the “colchoneros,” has finally come.
Negotiations between the player and the team began several months ago, as his contract expires in 2023, so in six months he could begin to receive offers. It was known that the renewal of the second captain of the red and white team was one of the priorities, and it was finally confirmed that he will continue until 2028.

Argentine Paulo Dybala was presented as a Roma player, putting an end to rumors about his future. According to information provided by the newspaper Mundo Deportivo,” La Joya” signed for three seasons and will receive 6 million euros per year.
The Italian club announced that the Albiceleste player will wear the number #21.
Luis Suarez Could Continue His Career in the Bundesliga
Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez keeps looking for a team after becoming a free agent at the end of the 2021-22 season. Since it became known that he would not renew his contract with Atletico Madrid, many began to say that this would lead Suarez to play in South America, and he was even recently linked to River Plate of Argentina and Nacional of Uruguay.
The story takes a turn, as Sky Sports stated that Suarez had been offered to Borussia Dortmund following the release of Sebastien Haller, who was diagnosed with a testicular tumor.
Jules Koundé Ponders Whether to Stay In la Liga or Move to the Premier League
Jules Koundé could define his future in the next few hours, but he is still analyzing two proposals he has been pitched. The player is being closely followed by Chelsea and also by Barcelona.
English newspaper The Sun has reported that there is already an agreement for 64 million euros, but Spain media outlets say that the “Culé” team is trying to convince him. It looks difficult for FC Barcelona to compete with the offer presented by the English side.

The Kosovar player played last season with Mallorca after being loaned by Lazio. The Spanish team made the necessary efforts to acquire him at the end of the loan and were successful. According to the newspaper Marca, Mallorca will pay 8 million euros set plus an additional amount in variables, making him the most expensive transfer in the club’s history.
Before his, the most expensive transfer had been that of Samiel Eto’o for 7.2 million.
