The latest news from Atlético de Madrid points to Manchester City's interest in Giuliano Simeone, a 23-year-old Argentine winger, for the January 2027 transfer window, as reported by Graeme Bailey. The English team has joined the race for the player, who is under contract with Atlético Madrid until June 2030 and has solidified his place in Diego Simeone's team.

Manchester City's interest poses a new threat to Atlético de Madrid's sports planning, as the player was renewed on January 15. The extension added two more seasons to his contract after he gained prominence in the first team.

Manchester City Focuses on a Key Piece of Atlético de Madrid

Manchester City has included Simeone among the players being considered to strengthen their squad. The Argentine primarily plays on the right wing but can also operate as a second striker or left winger.

His ability to cover the flank, exploit spaces, and contribute to defensive pressure explains his importance in Diego Simeone's system. The coach deploys the player in both attacking positions and roles with more defensive responsibilities.

His progress is supported by stats. During the 2025/26 season, the Argentine tallied four goals and six assists in 31 LaLiga matches, directly contributing to 10 goals for the red and white team.

In the current 2026/27 season, the player has scored two goals and provided two assists in eight league games, playing 547 minutes with six starting appearances. His involvement confirms his continued significant role in the Argentine coach's plans.

Losing the player in January would force Atlético de Madrid to find an alternative for the right wing mid-season. Besides his offensive contribution, the player allows the team structure to be modified without the need for substitutions.

Atlético de Madrid Secures Giuliano Simeone until 2030

The main obstacle for Manchester City is the Argentine's contract situation. Giuliano Simeone signed an extension until June 30, 2030, so the Madrid team is not contractually obligated to negotiate his departure.

The agreement came after the player featured in 77 official matches, scoring eight goals and providing 16 assists during his first season and a half as part of the red and white squad.

His trajectory also explains the club's commitment. After developing in the Atlético academy, the winger gained experience on loan at Real Zaragoza and Deportivo Alavés before definitively returning to the first team in 2024.

Since then, the Argentine has increased his prominence to become one of his father's regular options in Atlético's attack. His continuity is part of the contractual planning established by the club until 2030 with various squad members.

The upcoming January 2027 window will reveal if Manchester City's interest turns into a concrete offer. Until an offer arrives, Atlético de Madrid keeps the player under contract and retains control over any potential negotiations.
