Elche have officially confirmed the signing of Thomas Lemar from Atlético Madrid on a loan deal with an option to buy. The French winger, 30, was not included in Diego Simeone's plans for the upcoming season. Lemar, who finished 15th in La Liga last year, returned to action recently while on loan at Girona, appearing in 28 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
The World Cup winner, who joined AS Monaco from Monaco for over €70m in 2018, struggled to break into Atlético Madrid's first team, netting 10 goals and creating 19 chances in 186 appearances for the Spanish club. Despite holding 27 caps for France (four goals), Lemar has not represented Les Bleus since September 2021.
