In a move reflecting its great confidence in its young talents, Spanish club Atletico Madrid announced the extension of the contract of its Argentine player Giuliano Simeone, son of the team's coach Diego Simeone, so that his association with the club will continue until the summer of 2030.
Contract renewal details and official statement
The capital club confirmed in an official statement published across its various platforms: “Juliano Simeone has renewed his contract with our club until June 30, 2030, thus extending his relationship with Los Rojiblancos for two additional seasons, as his previous contract was set to expire in 2028.” This move aims to thwart any external interest and ensure the player’s mental and technical stability within the Civitas Metropolitano fortress.
Giuliano's career: From reserves to first team
Giuliano's path wasn't easy simply because he's the son of the club's legendary coach. He progressed through the youth ranks, impressing with Atlético Madrid B, before loan spells further honed his skills. His most notable stint was with Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División, where his goal-scoring prowess truly blossomed. He then moved to Deportivo Alavés in La Liga, and despite suffering a serious injury early on, he returned to prove his worth.
According to the statistics, the young Argentine winger has played 78 matches in an Atletico shirt (between the reserve team and the first team) since his debut, scoring 8 goals, reflecting his continuous development and ability to adapt to the demands of high-level Spanish football.
The importance of renewal and the context of "cholismo"
This renewal carries significant implications beyond simply signing contracts; it reaffirms the continuation of the "Cholismo" philosophy instilled by his father, Diego Simeone, a philosophy based on fighting spirit and hard work. Giuliano, known for his exceptional physical condition and versatility in playing multiple attacking positions and on the wings, represents the ideal type of player Atlético Madrid is looking for in its future project.
Future outlook and the impact of the decision
Strategically, securing Giuliano's services until 2030 is part of Atlético Madrid's plan to rejuvenate the squad and rely on young players who have internalized the club's identity. Given the fierce competition in the transfer market and the soaring player prices, retaining homegrown talent is a smart economic and technical choice for the management, giving the team depth and technical stability for years to come.
