Atletico Madrid striker reports former club amid claims of abusive clause

Atletico Madrid are set to get a refund for the fee paid to acquire the service of young forward Samu Omorodion from Granada.

Samu Omorodion joined Atletico Madrid for €6m just days after he scored against Los Rojiblancos on MD1 of the 2023-24 season. However, he was loaned out to Alaves for the remainder of the campaign.

The 19-year-old has now taken submitted a complaint against Granada for adding an ‘abusive’ clause during his time there.

An abusive clause is one where the player’s release clause is excessively high for the salary agreed upon.

Samu Omorodion believes that his salary at Granada at that time did not warrant his clause being worth that much.

An official complaint has already been filed, and the case is expected to be concluded in the next few months. If Samu is successful, the likelihood is that Atletico Madrid will have the €6m returned that they paid for the teenager.

Atletico Madrid will be hoping Samu Omorodion fulfill his potential at the club when he finally link up with his teammates next season.
