Atlético de Madrid to secure Pablo Barrios with salary increase, the future of the team
Pablo Barrios, 21, is the present and future of Atlético de Madrid. The midfielder has made an undeniable leap in his career, going from playing in Primera RFEF to being a key player in Primera División and an Olympic champion with the under-21 team.
Diego Pablo Simeone is in love with his football and at the Metropolitano they see him as Koke’s replacement. The ‘8’ rojiblanco has participated in nine games this season, completing seven of them.
His performance has caught the attention of the Premier League and Atlético, despite having a contract until 2028, has decided to take action. According to AS, the colchonero entity will triple his salary to ‘secure’ him. With a clause that will exceed 100 ‘kilos’, Atlético will seek to reward his explosion with a salary increase, but without exposing the player to a possible departure that could put the club’s future plans and the continuity of a vital player for ‘Cholo’ at risk.
