De Paul: Engine and Future of Atlético
Rodrigo De Paul has established himself as one of the pillars of Atlético de Madrid, leaving behind the inconsistency of his first seasons. The Argentine midfielder, key in Cholo’s scheme, exhibits a superlative performance, similar to the one he shows with the Argentine national team, where he is an undisputed leader.
His performance at the Metropolitano has not gone unnoticed, arousing the interest of important clubs, including an approach from the Premier League in January, rejected by the rojiblanco club. Italy is also closely following the player, where he already demonstrated his value at Udinese.
With a contract until June 2026, Atlético faces the crossroads of deciding whether to extend his contract or consider a possible sale in the next market, seeking to recover part of the initial investment.
However, the current reality is very different from a few months ago, when his departure was considered a priority. The coaching staff greatly values his commitment and competitive level, considering him one of the most important players in the squad, along with Oblak and a few other untouchables. Extending his contract beyond 2026 has become a priority to ensure the continuity of a fundamental player in the present and future of Atlético.
