Stefan Savić, the Montenegrin defender, has been granted permission by Atlético Madrid to leave the club on a free transfer this summer. Despite having a contract that runs until June 2025, Savić has expressed a desire to exit the club earlier, a request which the club has agreed to honor.
Contract and Transfer Details
Atlético Madrid’s decision comes after Savić extended his contract in April 2024, which was set to keep him at the club until 2025. However, the recent development indicates a change in plans for both the player and the club. According to Fabrizio Romano, Atlético Madrid has accepted Savić’s request to leave as a free agent, paving the way for him to explore new opportunities without a transfer fee.
Interest from Other Clubs
The news of Savić’s impending departure has reportedly attracted attention from several clubs looking to strengthen their defensive line. The identity of these clubs has not been disclosed, but they are keen on securing the services of the experienced centre-back.
Previously, there were speculations about Savić potentially moving to Fenerbahçe, but these were dismissed by his agent in December 2023, confirming that there were no talks with the Turkish club at that time.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen where Stefan Savić will choose to continue his professional football career.
