Saul Niguez Has Left Fans Very Disappointed After His 'New Club' Announcement

Saul Niguez has announced his 'new club' is a brand new football project called Club Costa City - that he created alongside his brother.

The Atletico Madrid man sent transfer rumours into overdrive at the weekend with cryptic tweet that said he will announce his 'new team'.

Saul was technically not lying then when a video dropped on Wednesday morning showing off the new side with the slogan 'There is a new team in the city'.

The scheme is in Elche, where the 25-year-old was born, and will bring together over 30 teams and more than 500 players of all age groups in the city.

A transfer always seemed unlikely considering the midfielder signed a huge nine year deal with a buy-out clause of over £100 million in 2017.

The Spaniard's current club seem to approve of his venture, almost immediately replying to the announcement on Twitter.

"We know how excited you are, and when things are done with this much excitement, they always turn out well. Good luck on your new adventure," Atleti stated.

One club who had been linked with Saul was Manchester United and fans reacted to the announcement in typical fashion.
