After coming through Atlético Madrid's youth academy, Saúl went on to appear in more than 300 competitive matches for the club. He also spent time on loan at fellow La Liga side Rayo Vallecano during the 2013–14 season and at Premier League club Chelsea in 2021–22.
In July 2011, Saúl joined the Atlético main squad for pre-season training.[citation needed] On 8 March 2012, at the age of just 17 years and 108 days, he made his debut with the Atlético first team, playing the last six minutes of a 3–1 home win against Beşiktaş in the UEFA Europa League.[7] His second appearance came on 20 September, again as a substitute and in the Europa League, this time against Hapoel Tel Aviv.[8] Three days later, he scored both goals for Atlético B in a 2–1 away derby win over Real Madrid C.[9]
Saúl made his La Liga debut on 21 April 2013, playing two minutes in a 1–0 win away to Sevilla after replacing fellow youth graduate Koke.[10] Again from the bench, he appeared in his second league match with the main squad on 4 May, against Deportivo La Coruña in a 0–0 draw.[11]
In a Madrid derby on 7 February 2015, Saúl replaced the injured Koke after ten minutes, and scored his team's second goal shortly after through a bicycle kick, in a 4–0 win.[15] From the 2015–16 season onwards, after the departure of Mario Suárez and the injury of Tiago Mendes, Saúl became a nuclear midfield element for the Diego Simeone-led team.[16][17]
On 27 April 2016, Saúl played 85 minutes in the first leg of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League against FC Bayern Munich, and also scored the only goal at the Vicente Calderón Stadium with an individual effort.[18] Starting in the final against Real Madrid, he played the entire 120 minutes and successfully converted his attempt in the penalty shoot-out, in a 5–3 loss.[19] The following 18 April, in the same competition but in the quarter-final, he scored through a header to help Atlético to a 1–1 draw away to Leicester City.[20] Also in that month, in an interview given to Diario AS, he admitted to having played for "two seasons" under extremely painful circumstances.[21]
On 1 July 2017, Saúl signed a new nine-year contract with Atlético.[22] He made nine appearances in the 2017–18 Europa League, scoring three goals for the eventual champions.[23][24]
On 18 February 2020, Saúl scored from close range in the fourth minute of the 2019–20 Champions League's round-of-16 first leg – his tenth goal in the competition[28]– against defending champions Liverpool to ensure a 1–0 home win for the hosts.[29] He also featured in the second leg at Anfield, playing the entire 3–2 extra-time victory.[30]
On 30 June 2020, Saúl scored twice from penalties in a 2–2 draw away to Barcelona, as Atlético managed that number of goals against that opposition in a league match for the first time under Simeone.[31]
Loan to Chelsea
On 31 August 2021, Saúl joined Premier League club Chelsea on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season, with an option to make the transfer permanent upon the completion of the loan.[32] He made his Premier League debut on 11 September, in a 3–0 win against Aston Villa, but received criticism from fans for his performance.[33] He won the Club World Cup with Chelsea on 12 February 2022, coming on as a 76th minute substitute to replace Callum Hudson-Odoi in a 2–1 final victory against Palmeiras. He scored his only goal of the season against Luton Town in a 3–2 FA Cup win on 2 March 2022.[34] Saúl posted his goodbye to Chelsea and the club's fans on 7 June 2022 as his loan spell ended and he returned to Atlético Madrid.[35]
Return to Atlético Madrid
On 24 September 2023, Saúl provided two assists and was named Man of the Match in a 3–1 victory over rivals Real Madrid, which also marked his 300th match in La Liga.[36]
Loan to Sevilla
On 15 July 2024, Sevilla announced the signing of Saúl on loan for the duration of the 2024–25 season, with the possibility of a further extension.[37]
Back with the full team, Saúl was selected in the squad chosen by manager Julen Lopetegui for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[44] Following Fernando Hierro replacing the latter shortly before the tournament, he was an unused member in an eventual round-of-16 exit.[45]
Under new coach Luis Enrique, Saúl scored his first goal for his country on 8 September 2018, equalising in an eventual 2–1 win against England for the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A at Wembley Stadium.[46] He also scored against Croatia in the following fixture three days later, a 6–0 victory in his hometown of Elche in the same competition.[45]
Style of play
A midfielder by trade,[45] Saúl was deployed as a centre-back during his spell at Rayo Vallecano.[47] Spanish football journalist Guillem Balagué stated that he suits several styles of play, citing his ability to play "Simeone style" (in reference to Atlético manager Diego Simeone) and "Barcelona style", summing up with "We have never had a midfielder like this".[45]
Following Luis Enrique's appointment as Spain manager in 2018, Diario AS' Alfredo Relaño remarked that "Saúl is the player to move the ball forward with purpose and attempt to finalise long passages of possession", adding that "The new centre of the park for Spain (where so much happens for the national side) is now defined by him, a box-to-box player and one never afraid to try his luck in front of goal",[47] Sid Lowe of The Guardian opined that "now he embodies the shift, technique and talent but athleticism too, blessed of impeccable timing, arriving in the area".[48]
Personal life
Saúl comes from a football family: his father, Boria, played several years with Elche as a striker.[49] His brothers, Aarón and Jony, are also footballers where together they opened a football club based in the Spanish city of Elche named Costa City Club which has a very clear objective: to develop young players aged between 4 and 18 years through sport but also with food education and education.[50][51][52]
Saúl was one of the stars of the Amazon Prime television documentary series Six Dreams, recorded during the 2017–18 season.[53] In June 2020, he announced that he and his brother Aarón would be starting a new youth project with Nike called Club Costa City, in his hometown.[54]
