Atlético Madrid puts one of its great pillars up for sale

Atletico Madrid is preparing for a particularly busy transfer market. Although the team is on hold due to a brief break before the Club World Cup, there is no respite at the Metropolitano offices. The sports management is working against the clock, not only in the search for reinforcements but also in planning exits that could bring significant income to the club.

One of the names that has begun to gain strength in this context is José María Giménez. The Uruguayan central defender, a pillar in the rojiblanca defense for over a decade, could change scenery in the upcoming market. Although his departure is not a priority, the club does not rule out a possible sale if a convincing offer arrives.

Saudi Arabia tests the waters with Giménez

With a contract in force until 2028 and a season in which he has been one of Simeone's most used players, Giménez continues to have a great reputation in international football. Clubs from the Premier League, Serie A, and even Saudi football have shown interest in signing him. From Saudi Arabia, in fact, they have reportedly made him an offer that would double his current salary, as reported by the newspaper AS.

The defender is currently focused with Uruguay to participate in the South American qualifiers but knows that upon his return, he will have a crucial decision to make. In the past, he had opportunities to leave and chose to stay. This time, however, Atletico is no longer closing the door. Giménez's future is more uncertain than ever.
