"Hostage-type" player! Atletico Madrid tied up this "father-son soldier"?

According to the well-known Spanish media "As", Atletico Madrid is fully promoting Giuliano Simeone's contract renewal. The new Argentine international is expected to receive a significant salary increase and a five-year contract including a penalty of 100 million euros. After Correa, Atletico Madrid's right answer

Starting from Atletico Madrid's youth training camp, after training from Zaragoza and Alaves, Simeone Jr. quickly gained a foothold in the rotation lineup after returning to the sheets. In the 2024/25 season, Simeone Jr. made 47 appearances for Atletico Madrid, including 38 starts, contributing 5 goals and 8 assists. She is fully qualified as the "fifth scoring point" behind Alvarez, Griezmann, Sollot and Correa.

Simone Jr. performed particularly well in the early stage of this season, and Atletico Madrid has been working on renewing his contract since then. Considering that Correa is likely to leave the team in the summer window of 2025, it is very necessary for Atletico Madrid to promote the renewal of Simeone Jr. This skilled and diligent player can grow into a striker/right wing swinger in the near future – this is exactly what Correa plays for a long time at Atletico Madrid.

New contract, new journey

According to the German transfer market, Simeone Jr. is currently worth about 25 million euros. Considering his age and potential, this number is expected to double in the future. Atletico Madrid hopes to renew Simeone's contract from 2028 to 2030, significantly increase the players' existing annual salary (500,000 euros), and increase the termination fee in the existing contract from 50 million euros to 100 million euros.

Simone Jr. is also an important member of Atletico Madrid's "Argentine Gang".

In an interview, Simeone Jr. had clearly expressed her desire to continue playing for Atletico Madrid. If the contract can be renewed successfully this time, it will inevitably bring huge confidence to him. Correa is about to leave the team, Griezmann is getting old, and the frontcourt of the Bedding Legion will usher in a major reshuffle in the summer window of this season. Alvarez and Sollot need help. Simeone Jr.'s role is very critical. Atletico Madrid is very wise to propose a renewal offer at this time.

"hostage type" player, "father and son soldier" legend

As the most well-known "father and son soldier" combination in today's football, what makes Simeone's father and son special is that they play for the same club as coach and player. In the past decade, while reshaping Atletico Madrid with his personal style and leading this team to the "Swiss Super League" group, Simeone has had scandals with Chelsea, Inter Milan and other teams. The rumors with his old club, the Nerazzurri, were once very close to "showing".

When Inzaghi relied on his outstanding performance to gradually calm these rumors, public opinion linked Simeone to the coach of the Argentine national team. Atletico Madrid chose to renew his contract with Simeone Jr., who has only one year of experience in the first team of the giants, in order to retain this meritorious coach who can be called "Luxury Ferguson".
