It's impossible not to appreciate all the positive aspects at Atlético de Madrid this season, from signings to youth players. Now, Simeone has been able to turn around that difficult situation he had on his hands last season, with players whose cycle was already completely over. The improvement in quality has been remarkable, enhancing their performance in all tournaments and achieving a very positive dynamic that seemed impossible.
Therefore, one of the main objectives of the sports management is to maintain the foundations that have allowed the colchonero team to improve this season. The desire is to secure those players whose future is very promising, as well as to close reinforcements in the summer that continue to improve the squad. For now, everything points to a piece of news that will excite most of the fans before the season ends.
Simeone's Legacy Will Remain Intact
One of the most unexpected news of recent months is the level of a Giuliano Simeone who has proven to be up to the task of playing at Atlético de Madrid. There's no need to recall the amount of criticism and comments that arose last summer when the club decided he would stay at the Metropolitano. His move to Deportivo Alavés was practically closed, but his prominence in the Olympic Games changed the situation.
He has scored four goals and provided five assists this season and has already become an undisputed starter in Simeone's scheme, partnering with Marcos Llorente on the right. Therefore, it's not surprising the information revealed by Matteo Moretto about the intention to renew the footballer until 2030. For now, he has a contract until 2028, but the goal is to ward off any possible offers from abroad to take the Argentine international.
The Future of Atlético de Madrid
In fact, talks will also resume with a Pablo Barrios whose renewal is one of the main desires of the sports management. An extension until 2030 will also be sought, tripling his salary and avoiding the interest of major clubs like Manchester City or Arsenal. Both names have become revelations in LaLiga, earning praise and starting positions in the red-and-white team.
Now, the entire squad will have a small break in the schedule before facing the most critical moment in all competitions. The semifinals of the Copa del Rey and the round of 16 of the Champions League are just around the corner, and Simeone will need 100% of his players. So far, everyone has made the most of their minutes and demonstrated the necessary attitude to compete against any opponent.
