Leo Román: The Future Goalkeeper of Atleti
Atlético de Madrid’s sporting management has set its sights on Leo Román, the young and promising goalkeeper from Mallorca, as a reinforcement for the Rojiblancos’ goal. At 24 years old, Román is emerging as a future bet for the club.
His contract with Mallorca ends in 2026, and his possible transfer could be around six or seven million euros, an investment that Atleti considers affordable. Román has proven his worth in La Liga, especially in matches against rivals such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, where his outstanding performances did not go unnoticed.
Despite not being the undisputed starting goalkeeper at Mallorca, his interventions have made his potential clear and have made him an attractive name for several clubs, including some in Italy and England.
Although Atlético has Jan Oblak, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the club is looking to the future. Oblak is under contract until 2028, but the sporting management believes it is time to think about a medium-term replacement.
Contacts between Atlético and Leo Román’s entourage are expected to begin soon, now that the season has ended. Mallorca assumes his departure and Atleti sees him as the ideal man to train at the Metropolitano and eventually take over from Oblak. The future is his, but Atleti must move quickly to secure his signing in the face of competition.
