Atletico de Madrid has started monitoring the center-back Arthur Dias with the intention of negotiating his transfer from Athletico Paranaense. The goal of the next Atletico's transfer market is to renovate the defense.

According to TEAMtalk, the red-and-white board aims to preempt the renewal attempt by the Brazilian club, which is considering the departure of their academy player for a sum between 25 and 30 million euros due to the interest from several European entities.

The progression of Arthur Dias at Athletico Paranaense

The 19-year-old defender made the leap to the first team of Athletico Paranaense in January 2026, accumulating a total of 49 official matches and 1 goal since then. The player's performance in the Brazilian championship led to his first call-up to the Brazilian national team for the friendly matches against India and Australia, a development that increased his international valuation.

With a contract signed in Curitiba until December 2028, the South American club's board plans to review his contract conditions to raise his release clause. Therefore, the technical department of Atletico de Madrid aims to expedite contacts to prevent the operation's cost from exceeding the estimated 30 million euros.

European competition from the Premier League, Serie A, and the Bundesliga

The Madrid team is not alone in the race for the Athletico Paranaense academy player. In the Premier League, Tottenham, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford are scouting the player, with Spurs and Forest being the most active competitors in recent weeks.

Additionally, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Atalanta, and Como are also monitoring the player. Despite the number of suitors, Atletico de Madrid trusts its history of recruitment in the South American market to position its proposal ahead of the British and Italian offers.

Atletico de Madrid's scouts will attend the center-back's matches during the final stretch of Brasileirão between October and November 2026. Atletico de Madrid's board plans to engage in direct discussions with Arthur Dias's representatives in December 2026 to define the feasibility of the transfer before the transfer window reopens.
