De Paul: Continuity or Farewell at Atlético?
Rodrigo de Paul’s future at Atlético de Madrid is at a crossroads. Although his contract extends until 2026, the club is reportedly considering a possible sale, which contrasts with the player’s desire to remain in the capital.
De Paul, who arrived at Atlético from Udinese in 2021, has become a key piece in Simeone’s scheme. After a hesitant start, the Argentinian has proven his worth, establishing himself as one of the best players in the team this season.
His performance has positioned him as a pillar in midfield alongside teammates such as Pablo Barrios and Llorente, being one of the most used players. Despite the interest he has aroused in Italy, De Paul is happy in Madrid and wants to fulfill his contract.
His adaptation to the city is complete and his influence in the locker room is remarkable. The Atlético board, aware of his value, would be listening to offers for the player, whose price would be around 30 million euros.
However, the player’s determination to stay at the club could be key in the negotiation. A busy transfer market is expected at the Metropolitano, and De Paul’s case promises to be one of the main focuses of attention in the coming weeks.
