Atletico Madrid have decisions to make now following Griezmann opting to remain LaLiga - Atletico Madrid Four signings could still be made if there are exits

Atletico Madrid completed their own personal hat-trick from Tuesday to Thursday, beginning with the signing of Thomas Lemar, then there was Jose Gimenez's renewal and the announcement that Antoine Griezmann will remain.

But after 'The Decision', the title of the documentary in which the No. 7 revealed his future, there are still many other decisions to be made as far as Diego Simeone's staff is concerned.

No matter how much Griezmann's words might have suggested otherwise, a big effort has already been made.

At least as far as spending is concerned because you have to take into account that the club have shelled out some 100 million euros to bring in Lemar and Rodri and another 55 million must be paid for Diego Costa in July, having only previously played on loan.

So, from this point forward, each potential new arrival will mean that someone else in the squad has to make way, with the possible exception of the left-back position.

They could be forced to strengthen in that area regardless as Filipe Luis suffered from six injuries last season and the man who often fills in, Lucas Hernandez, should in principle now be moving to his favoured centre-back position.

Three other positions may need to be filled though, starting with the right-back area. Vrsaljko could exit and have his place taken by Djibril Sidibe in an operation that would involve similar numbers.

Stefan Savic could also be moved on to raise cash and the gap that he leaves may be filled by Argentine defender Nehuen Perez, who could play a similar role to the one Gimenez did when he arrived in 2013.

In attack, an exit from Kevin Gameiro could leave the door open for another signing.

A plan at the moment within the Rojiblancos is to return Angel Correa to a more central attacking role as a Griezmann alternative and Gameiro's replacement would act as an understudy to Costa.

In principle, the midfield now has sufficient numbers and there is no need to change anything there with Gabi, Thomas Partey, Rodri, Saul, Koke, Lemar and Vitolo filling those roles.

Another plan is the renewal of Jan Oblak's contract, another of the club's strategic objectives.

The problem there is that the goalkeeper is reluctant to release his buyout clause, which is currently at 100 million euros, while the club believe it is a necessary part of a new deal.
