Marc Pubill, a 23-year-old Spanish defender, will stay at Atlético de Madrid despite interest from the transfer market of Barcelona and several Premier League clubs. Atlético's stance is to keep him as non-transferable, and his current contract runs until June 2030, with a release clause of €500 million.

The situation has strengthened after his impact with Spain. Pubill scored his first goal with the national team on September 29 against Croatia, in a 4-1 victory in the Nations League, after also being a starter against England four days earlier.

Marc Pubill earns a place in Spain

Marc Pubill's growth is also reflected in his performance at Atlético. This season, he has played 6 matches, started 5 times, clocking 403 minutes, and scored 1 goal in LaLiga, according to the club's official records.

His debut goal for Spain came in the 31st minute against Croatia. Lamine Yamal crossed from the right, and Pubill appeared to make it 2-1, in his second start for the national team.

His international exposure has increased after participating in the 2026 World Cup and establishing himself in Atlético's squad. The defender had previously played for the U-21 national team and won the Olympic title with Spain in Paris 2024.

Atlético not negotiating for Marc Pubill

Atlético Madrid rejected interest from Arsenal during the summer. In August, AS reported that the club had made Pubill non-transferable and was unwilling to entertain proposals for the player. The €500 million release clause supports this stance.

The contract signed upon his transfer from Almería is valid for five years, until 2030. The agreement was finalized in the summer of 2025, after Atlético reached a deal with the Andalusian club for his transfer.

Barcelona is among the clubs monitoring the defender's progress, as movements from the Premier League were also noted. Pubill was linked to Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea in May, in addition to Arsenal, prompting Atlético's refusal to negotiate.

The contractual situation allows little room for standard operations. Any club aiming to sign Pubill from Atlético de Madrid would need to meet the €500 million release clause or wait for a change in Atlético's stance, which recent reports do not suggest.

Barcelona and Premier League monitoring his progress

External interest aligns with a season where Pubill is alternating between right-back and center-back roles. Atlético used him in both positions last season, where he played 36 matches and 2,775 minutes.

Now, his performance with Spain adds another dimension to the equation. After scoring against Croatia and playing against England, his next national team fixture is on October 3 against the Czech Republic before returning to club competitions.

Marc Pubill's next step will be to continue with Atlético de Madrid while Barcelona and Premier League clubs keep tabs on him. With a contract until 2030 and a €500 million release clause, any future move will rely on a change in Atlético's position.
