Atletico Madrid is looking to strengthen its midfield and has set its sights on Luis Milla, currently a key player at Getafe. Amid swirling rumors, the Madrid midfielder's name is once again prominent among the possible targets for the red-and-white team.

Interest from Atletico and demands from Getafe

Diego Simeone has made it a priority to bring in a quality midfielder capable of providing control, intensity, and attacking prowess. In that regard, Luis Milla fits the bill perfectly. Getafe is gearing up to reject low offers, reportedly seeking a figure close to 30 million euros to part ways with one of their top players.

Atletico knows that they will have to reach into their pockets if they truly want to enhance their midfield with an established player.

A significant reinforcement for Diego Simeone

For Simeone, strengthening the midfield is always a strategic move. With Milla, he would gain presence, balance, and versatility. In Atletico's system, he could take on a hybrid role: defending, shielding, or even advancing with purpose. In every aspect, Luis Milla would provide a solid alternative to the current midfielders at Atletico.

His willingness seems to align with this opportunity: after shining in this season's start, the idea of making a leap forward sounds logical in his career.

Outstanding performance at Getafe

Luis Milla has responded impressively to the challenge of the start of the 2025-26 LaLiga season. He was the MVP against Sevilla and provided two crucial assists against Oviedo. In his 100th game for Getafe, he proved his value as a key figure in the project led by José Bordalás.

His statistics are remarkable: leading the league in assists with 4 goals in 4 matches, along with maintaining high pass accuracy and defensive solidity. His performances have raised eyebrows in the market.

A complex yet feasible deal

Getafe is not considering a sale for less than what's fair. Although some previous valuations set a lower price—between six and eight million euros—the Spanish club has now raised its demands upon learning of Atletico's interest.

Furthermore, Milla's contract running until 2027 strengthens their negotiating position. The Getafe executives could withstand weak offers and only yield to a strong proposal.

Meanwhile, there are European clubs closely monitoring his situation. Olympiacos, under José Luis Mendilibar's management, has shown interest in signing him, though the 30 million buyout clause complicates that option.

Risks and rewards for both parties

For Atletico, acquiring Luis Milla would mean competing for a national talent, strengthening the midfield, and avoiding riskier ventures in the foreign market. Yet, it would also require sacrificing financial resources and acknowledging the player's adaptation to the demands of a top club.

For Getafe, losing their midfield anchor would be a blow on the field. However, receiving 30 million and offsetting that loss with new signings could bolster the squad for the long term.

If both sides show readiness, this could be one of the most intriguing moves in the market. And if the deal goes through... Luis Milla could don the red and white sooner than expected.
