Atlético de Madrid has completed the signing of Marc Pubill, a right-back who arrives from Almería after a deal was closed this very evening. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the red and white club beat out Wolverhampton, who was also interested in the player, and finalized the transfer after express negotiations with the Andalusian team. Pubill will sign for five seasons, in an operation that amounts to 12 million euros fixed plus variables that could raise the total price to 19 million.

At only 22 years old, Pubill has become one of the most promising full-backs in Spanish football. An international with the U-21 national team, the defender stands out for his imposing physique, speed, and solidity in one-on-one situations. His performance in the Segunda División had sparked interest from several clubs, but it was ultimately Atlético who swiftly made a move after missing out on Jesús Areso, who decided to sign with Athletic Club.

Pubill's arrival fills one of the top priorities for Diego Pablo Simeone, who was looking to bolster the right side of his defense after Nahuel Molina's departure. The Argentine coach wanted a player with potential but also ready to compete from the get-go, and the former Almería player fits that profile.
The new red and white full-back comes from playing 40 matches last season, where he scored a goal and provided five assists, figures that reflect his ability to contribute in attack as well as in defensive duties. Although the official announcement is still pending, Atlético considers the deal closed and trusts that Pubill will adapt quickly to the 'Cholo's' system. His signing represents a strong commitment to young talent with experience at the elite level.
