Lemar: I'm at Atletico Madrid and I'll be there next season LaLiga Had a disappointing debut campaign

Thomas Lemar had a difficult debut campaign at Atletico Madrid, yet the Frenchman is determined to make a success of his time at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Last summer, Atletico paid 72 million euros to sign Lemar, attaining 70 percent of his rights in the process, and he will not be seeking a premature exit from the club.

"I'm at Atletico and I'll be back next season," Lemar told beIN Sports.

"I still want to progress. I wanted to do it this season, I will try to do even better next season."

Diego Simeone is backing the 23-year-old to thrive next season, too.

"He will have a fantastic season," Simeone said about Lemar at the end of the 2018/19 campaign.
