In a move reflecting its strategy of retaining young talent, Atlético Madrid announced the extension of winger Giuliano Simeone's contract for two more seasons. This decision underscores the great confidence the Rojiblancos' management has in the young player's abilities, who has proven his worth in the first team.
Details of the new contract and future commitment
According to the official statement published by the club on its website, Giuliano Simeone has signed an extension that will keep him at the Civitas Metropolitano stadium until June 30, 2030. The player's previous contract was set to expire in 2028, but his improved performance prompted the management to act early to secure his services for a longer period, thus closing the door on any external interest in signing the player in the near future.
The Journey of Footballing Maturity: From Loan to Foundation
Giuliano, son of the club's legendary manager Diego Simeone, didn't have an easy path to success. He gained valuable experience outside the club, spending two loan spells that proved crucial to his physical and technical development. His first stint was with Real Zaragoza in the 2022–2023 season, followed by a successful spell in La Liga with Deportivo Alavés in 2023–2024. These experiences provided him with the necessary skills to return to Atlético Madrid and establish himself as an indispensable member of the squad.
Figures reflecting artistic impact
Since rejoining his father's squad, Giuliano has delivered outstanding performances. Statistics show he has participated in 77 matches across all competitions, a number that reflects his significant role. During these appearances, he has directly contributed to the attack, scoring 8 goals and providing 16 assists, becoming a key player in the team's offensive system, distinguished by the speed and fighting spirit for which the Atlético school of football is known.
The sporting context and the team's position in La Liga
This renewal comes at a time when Atlético Madrid is seeking to bolster its squad's stability to compete for domestic and continental titles. The team currently sits fourth in the La Liga standings with 38 points, accumulated from 11 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses. Maintaining the core of the team, including young talents like Giuliano, is a pivotal part of the club's plan to ensure continued Champions League participation and challenge for the league title in the coming years.
