Atletico Mineiro dominated by loaned players

Who are the players loaned by Atletico Mineiro?

Atletico Mineiro has 11 players loaned to other teams, enough to form a complete team. The club aims to give more minutes to players with few opportunities, alleviate the payroll and increase the visibility of athletes in the squad.

The most recent to join this list was midfielder Iseppe, loaned to Nacional, from the island of Madeira, in Portugal, for a season.

How are the loaned players doing?

Among the loaned athletes, there are cases of players who are standing out and gaining space in their new clubs. Others, however, still face difficulties in conquering a sequence of games, even after the team change.

Robert Santos was loaned to Chapecoense for the 2026 season, but had his trajectory interrupted early in the year. The striker played only six games for the Catarinense Championship before suffering a serious injury in late February.

Rômulo was loaned to Sporting still in the middle of 2025, for the 2025/26 season. However, his passage through European football had little highlight.

What's next for the loaned players?

Paulo Vitor was loaned to Avaí until the end of the season and had a positive first half for the Catarinense team. The player established himself as an important piece of the team and directly contributed to the conquest of the Copa Sul-Sudeste.

Fausto Vera was loaned to River Plate until the end of 2026 and quickly became a starter and an important piece in the team's scheme.
