DBasia.news – Gelson Martins was eliminated from Atletico Madrid squad in the second round of this season. He was loaned to AS Monaco.
The decision to lend the striker is related to his poor performance this season. He just played once as a starter in the LaLiga. From his 8 performances in LaLiga this season, he failed to score neither goal nor assist.
The only goal happened in the Copa del Rey when the team won 1-0 against Sant Andreu. This minus record triggered Atletico to release him.
The loan was surprising because Los Rojiblancos just signed him last July. He was signed freely from Portugal giant, Sporting CP. But, the intense match in the front line made him failed.
