Samu Omorodion did not join Atlético Madrid’s squad for their first La Liga match of the season. The 20-year-old forward remains unregistered, and his future is uncertain as multiple clubs express interest following the collapse of his transfer to Chelsea.
Transfer Complications
Omorodion’s potential move to Chelsea faced several hurdles. Initially, Chelsea announced the signing of Omorodion from Atlético Madrid on 7 August 2024, with a reported transfer fee of £34.5 million. The deal included a seven-year contract, as confirmed by Chelsea on 6 August 2024. However, complications arose, and by 11 August 2024, it was clear that the transfer would not proceed as planned.
Current Status
With the Chelsea deal off the table, Omorodion’s future remains in limbo. Atlético Madrid has yet to register him for the current season, leaving the door open for other clubs to make a move. The situation is fluid, and further developments are expected as the transfer window progresses.
