Atletico trio could leave in January

Spanish daily newspaper Marca has suggested that up to three attack-minded footballers could leave Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer window.

Few days ago, los Colchoneros have secured a deal for Chelsea striker Diego Costa, and his arrival is likely to cause some changes to the playing squad.

Marca seems to believe that the likes of Luciano Vietto, Kevin Gameiro and Nicolas Gaitan are all under threat and one or two of them could be allowed to move on.

All three players have struggled for form at the start of the new season and they are now behind Antoine Griezmann, Fernando Torres, Angel Correa and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco in the pecking order.

Atletico Madrid suffered a last-gasp defeat to Chelsea in yesterday’s Champions League fixture, and they are 1/4 to defeat Qarabag on the road next time out.
