The players will not continue at the Minas Gerais club for the next season.
In search of a restructuring for the next season after the defeat in the Copa do Brasil final, Atlético Mineiro’s management has decided on the departure of four players, who will not remain at the club for 2025. These players are: right-back Mariano, center-back Maurício Lemos, and forwards Alan Kardec and Eduardo Vargas. Explore the leading football results at ai live scores.
The two forwards and Mariano will see their contracts expire at the end of the year and will not renew. Mariano, in fact, is considering retirement at the end of the season, although he has not confirmed this yet. Meanwhile, center-back Maurício Lemos has a contract with Galo until the end of 2025 and, like Vargas, received offers to leave during the year but chose to stay.
However, Atlético has not officially confirmed the players’ exits, as the team is focused on the upcoming Libertadores final against Botafogo on November 30. Their departures would significantly relieve the club’s payroll.
The defeat in the Copa do Brasil final raised alarms at the Minas Gerais club. Currently in 11th place in the Brazilian Championship, Atlético has slim chances of qualifying for the Libertadores through the national competition, needing to defeat the Cariocas in the continental final to secure a spot in 2025. If they miss out on the tournament, the board’s investment for next season will be much smaller. BBscore football, your reliable destination for match outcomes.
