Staying with Spanish Football Club Atletico de Madrid, the Liga Champions are the talk of the Spanish Sports media. If the below post talks about the possible exit of David Villa, Spanish Sports paper "Mundo Deportivo" talks about all the players in danger of leaving the Club this Summer.
For all those interested, & especially the Atletico de Madrid fans, I thought I give a summary of all the speculations, players names, interested Clubs & possible substitutes. Lastly, Atletico de Madrid owner Angel Gil said yesterday that the Club will do what it can to retain its players but if the interested Clubs come with the contract release clause payments it is in the hands of the player. He also added that the Club will attempt to better the contracts of some players.
Players which have already left are:
-Tiago (speculated going to Chelsea FC)
-Diego Ribas (signs with Fernerbahce)
-Cristian Rodiguez ... looking for new Club.
Rumoured to have agreements with other Clubs:
-Diego Costa (Chelsea FC) , a rumour but his substitute could be Roberto Soldado of Tottenham.
-David Villa (New York City-MLS) rumoured.
-Miranda (rumoured Manchester United, although FC Barcelona is also in there as well)
Said to be returning to his Club of origin after a loan period:
-Courtois (Chelsea FC), the player is attempting to stay. Could finally be part of a deal with Chelsea FC over the already mentioned players. Possible replacement Keylor Navas of Levante if Courtois finally returns to the UK.
Players with other Clubs interested:
-Felipe Luis (Chelsea FC), if he goes Siquiera of Benefica said to be possible substitute.
-Koke (Man Utd & FC Barcelona) , but he has said he is staying at At Madrid
As you can see a possible total disintegration of a Champions squad. Obviously the Club with Coach Simeone have foreseen this & have planned substitutes which will be signed throughout the upcoming weeks. Plus many of the above names are still rumours & speculations, & if true will need to negotiate hard between the Clubs. What is a certainty is that we are in for a very interesting Summer.
Stay tuned!

The disintegration of Atletico would be the worst thing for Spanish football. Especially now that the rivalry with Real has been juiced up by the CL final.
Lee, I hope it does not disintegrate. At Madrid is looking at good replacements, including Ratikic.
However, its early days & rumours are ramped around these times. Perhaps some will leave but not all.
Cheers
