Carlos Soler, a 28-year-old midfielder who joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022 from Valencia on a contract until 2027, failed to impress on the pitch and was loaned to West Ham for the 2024-2025 season. He has now returned to Paris, with a solution to be found for the future. Journalist Hector Gomez announced on Wednesday a surprise move to Atlético Madrid.
This is a surprising rumor, as Soler has struggled to fully establish himself at PSG and then at West Ham, despite showing flashes of brilliance at times. Villarreal has been mentioned in recent weeks, but there has been no clear progress. Atlético Madrid is a new entrant in this saga, and it’s hard to imagine a transfer to their already strong squad.
But it’s not perfect either, and the Spanish international remains a talented player with a very good reputation in La Liga. With a loan or a relatively low-cost transfer, he could be an interesting option to strengthen the squad while minimizing financial risk.
Let’s wait for more certainty, as there is nothing concrete yet. But it’s easy to imagine that Soler would be tempted if this option does indeed materialize.
