Atletico Madrid completed three bits of important business in July 2018 as they tied Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Hernandez down to new contracts and completed the signing of Thomas Lemar from Monaco.
Now, almost 18 months later, the first two players have left the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano while Lemar remains.
The Frenchman hasn't lived up to his 70 million euro price tag and has seriously struggled to make an impact in either of his first two seasons with Los Rojiblancos.
Lemar hasn't found the net so far during the current campaign in an Atletico team that's finding it difficult in front of goal.
Diego Simeone has defended the player on numerous occasions and it looks like he's finally being given a consistent run in the team.
Lemar has the chance to prove his worth against Sevilla on Saturday and finally pay back some of his substantial transfer fee.
