Buy-back clause
Atlético offloaded Jiménez to Benfica for 22 million euros and until recently, held a 50 per cent stake in the player, but the Rojiblancos still have an option to buy him back - that option expires this summer. The 25-year-old left Atleti at the end of the 2014-2015 season after making 28 appearances (6 in the starting XI and 22 coming on off the bench); he scored just once during his brief spell at the Calderón, against Sevilla.
