Giménez: An Imminent Farewell to the Metropolitano?
Atlético de Madrid is bracing for a busy summer, with potential departures of key players. One of the names that is heavily rumored is José María Giménez, the Uruguayan center-back with a contract until 2028 and a long history with the club since his arrival in 2013.
While the club’s initial intention is not to sell him, his strong market value makes him an attractive option to balance the finances. Giménez is a fundamental pillar in Cholo Simeone’s defense, being one of the players with the most minutes played this season.
However, the club would be willing to listen to offers for him, especially from leagues like the Arab one, where they would offer him a significantly higher salary. The player has already had opportunities to leave in the past, but finally chose to stay and consolidate himself as a benchmark.
Now, focused with Uruguay for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches and with the Club World Cup on the horizon, Giménez will have to weigh his future. The decision will not be easy, but it could mean a new chapter in his career, away from the club that saw him grow. This summer is presented as a period of reflection and possible changes for Atlético and one of its most emblematic players.
