Barcelona forward Memphis Depay appeared to be on the verge of joining Atlético Madrid as he was spotted wearing the club's colors while training under manager Diego Simeone on Thursday.
The 28-year-old Dutch international has been linked with a move to Atlético for the last few days, with several reports by the Spanish media suggesting that the deal was close to be done.

En medio de su momento más oscuro en Europa, la posibilidad de ver a Diego Lainez vistiendo nuevamente la playera del América comenzó a crecer durante los primeros días de enero. Sin embargo, dicha chance parece haber quedado completamente cerrada, luego de que el presidente deportivo de las Águilas, Santiago Baños revelara y criticara duramente las pretensiones del jugador en un programa de TV.
The Supercopa de España took center stage Sunday with casual American viewers probably wondering what in the hell this match meant during its afternoon broadcast on ABC.
Yes, it's a supreme money grab in Saudi Arabia at an obtuse time in the season, but a Clásico is a Clásico — they're all memorable, even if they're part of the International Champions Cup and staged in Miami Gardens, Florida.
César Montes completó su primer partido como titular en LaLiga durante el triunfo 2-1 del Espanyol sobre el Getafe y su buen aporte no pasó inadvertido entre los aficionados periquitos, quienes ahora exigen la presencia constante del mexicano en el 11 inicial del equipo.
A nivel estadístico, lo que más impresionó de su performance fue su capadidad de estar siempre en el lugar correcto para sacar el peligro de su área. De hecho, Montes terminó igualando el récord de 14 rechaces en un partido de la temporada 2022-23.
Seattle Sounders learned on Friday how their path at the Club World Cup looks. And to be honest, it's pretty exciting!

I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but if you've been following The18 for the past year then you've already seen all 11 FIFA Puskas Award nominees. We have exquisite taste like that.
But in case you can't remember the strikes — arriving as early as Apr. 2 and as late as Kylian Mbappé's side-volley against Argentina in the World Cup final on Dec. 18 — here's a trip down memory lane with videos that you can watch right here, right now. I've also included a link to what The18 said at the time.
La última temporada de Lionel Messi en Barcelona fue una verdadera bolsa de gatos. Una renuncia por burofax, la filtración de su astronómico salario y campañas de la directiva del propio club para difamarlo online fueron parte de la tapicería que quedó expuesta a los ojos públicos.
Pero no fue todo.
Shakira's wounds are not closed. Or at least that's the feeling after listening to the lyrics of her new song, where justifiably there's not even an ounce of mercy for her ex, former Barcelona star Gerard Piqué.
The couple split last summer after reports showed Piqué was cheating on her.
The Colombian singer subtly alluded to the break-up a few months ago with the release of Monotonia, but in "BZRP Music Session #53" — in which she teamed up with Argentine producer Bizarrap — the pop icon went nuclear.
According to the latest reports, Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp are leading the race to sign 20-year-old USMNT and Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah for a modest transfer fee of just over $20 million.
On Wednesday in Valencia's Supercopa de España semifinal against Real Madrid, Musah only added to his value with a defensive performance not unlike the rousing displays he gave against England and Iran in Qatar.
