Bloody good midfield options they'll have next season.
They'll need to replace D.Costa if he leaves, and then find a LB to replace Felipe.

Got a lot of respect for Gabi. He was arguably their best player this season and warrior in midfield.
Tiago signed for Chelsea, and Diego for a Turkish team i think.
Is Rakitic already confirmed? And will O. Torres certainly return from loan?

Could make €90m from sales of Costa, Felipe and Miranda.
Could defo find adequate replacements with that money... and also from La Liga winnings (and getting so far in the CL).
Unsure if they'll be as good, but could still be a threat.

oh I'm not too sure. I didn't know about Tiago to Chelsea.
He'll be a squad member anyway. 33 years old? What a chelsea thinking lol I think Rakitic is close.

Many sources report that Diego Costa has passed a medical at Chelsea ahead of a proposed £32m transfer from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea met his buyout clause and he will now negotiate personal terms.
Chelsea raided Atletico with all Tiago, Costa and probably Luis and Courtois all heading there. Hope Koke doesn't add to the list.

Definitely not. Does not suit our game at all.

Now Atleti's transfer activity is finally starting to pop up on the rumor mill.
They've bought Siqueira and Moya and are linked with Vela, Lukaku, Bacca, and Cazorla. Lot of great options and being Liga champions/CL finalists has surely given them a great amount of appeal. Hell if they get Vela or Lukaku then Costa would hardly be missed.
Still hoping Luis doesn't go to Chelski.

Luis wants Atleti to lower his transfer fee but they refuse so as of now, he'll probably stay (they do have Siqueira now though). Tiago is being replaced by Saul/Suarez/Koke and maybe someone else. Courtois most likely by Navas. Miranda might stay but if not, Musacchio seems very plausible. As for Costa and Villa, they'll have Correa and maybe Negredo or Lukaku according to reports.
They are going to lose a lot of their squad, core players even. However I don't doubt that the team can remain strong as long as they can evolve (i.e more dynamic in attack and a bit more dominant in midfield, which can be achieved through Correa and playing Koke centrally). They might not have the same success with trophies as that requires the aid of luck but they'll certainly be very competitive. It's sad to see all the players leave right when they gain momentum though, money talks in today's game though I guess.
