The biggest winner in all of this is Atletí
a very sound run club for the most part

Atletico has been a very successful club recently, no doubt. However, they have made plenty of costly mistakes on the transfer market. The first one that comes to my mind is Joao Felix for whom they paid 126 mln euros. They failed to capitalize on players like Saul and Koke for whom they could've got figures close to 100mln each and now they're worth very little both on the pitch and the transfer market.
They paid 75mln for freaking Lemar, 53mln for Morata.
It seems they can't develop players no more as all they do is to bring back the players that once used to be good for them like Griezmann or Carrasco.
