Barrios: Centenary and Red and White Renewal
Great news for the ‘Colchoneros’ fans! Pablo Barrios, a homegrown player through and through, is about to reach a milestone that will establish him as a red and white legend: 100 games with the first team at just 21 years old! This achievement will earn him a plaque on the Walk of Centenary Players at the Metropolitano, an honor reserved for the greats.
But the good news doesn’t end there. It is expected that, after reaching this centenary, his renewal until 2030 will be announced, securing his future at Atleti for many years to come! This contract extension will be accompanied by a well-deserved salary increase and a clause that reflects his growing importance in the team.
Barrios has become a fundamental piece for Simeone, demonstrating impressive maturity and understanding of the game, especially in the pivot role. His adaptation and performance have positioned him as one of the key players in Cholo’s scheme.
Comparing his career with other great homegrown players such as Saúl, Koke, Thomas Partey, or Lucas Hernández, Barrios shows that he is following a promising path. His impact on the team and his market value confirm his bright present and future as an Atlético de Madrid player! A Barrios who will shine forever at the Metropolitano and who has a lot of string left!
