The youngster has crossed the Spanish capital divide, but his former team-mate will not waste any time thinking about his departure

Saul Niguez insists new Real Madrid signing Theo Hernandez does not matter to Atletico Madrid if he does not want to be at the club.

The European champions reached an agreement to sign full-back Theo from city rivals Atletico on a six-year deal last week, a transfer reportedly worth €26million.

Saul, meanwhile, has chosen a different path, signing a renewal that ties him to Diego Simeone's side until 2026.

The Spain midfielder is not bitter about Theo's choice, as long as the 19-year-old, who never made a competitive Atletico appearance, respects his former club.
