2) Diego Simeone stopped him from leaving the club
Saul Niguez recently stated in an interview that he wanted to stay at Atletico for life. A big reason for that has been the trust that has been placed on him by the manager But there was a point when the youngster wanted to leave as he was not getting enough minutes at the club.
In an interview with Cadena COPE, his father said his son was finding it difficult at Atletico when Simeone himself stepped in. “He thought about leaving and we were set to leave the club because he wanted more minutes to continue the progression from last season with Rayo. “
“Logically, we asked to leave because we saw that he wasn’t getting the minutes we thought he would but the one who counted on him was the manager and he said that he is counting on him and asked him to have patience, as did the club. Therefore, we decided to stay.“
