Nicolás Tagliafico, a 34-year-old Argentine left-back, has become a target for the Atlético de Madrid transfer market. The club has initiated contacts with Olympique de Lyon to try to finalize his arrival on the last day. Juventus had advanced in the operation but needs to release Juan Cabal before completing the move.

The scenario has changed in a matter of hours. Atlético has entered the negotiation while Juventus maintains its agreement conditioned to Cabal's exit, sparking a dispute between both clubs over the future of the Argentine.

Tagliafico belongs to Olympique de Lyon, with a contract until June 2027. The full-back joined the French club in 2022 and has played over a hundred games for the team, making any departure require an agreement between clubs.

Nicolás Tagliafico, a last-minute alternative

Atlético has accelerated for Tagliafico in the last hours to reinforce the left-back position. The operation takes place on September 1, the closing day of the LaLiga transfer market.

The Argentine's contract situation may facilitate negotiations. His contract with Olympique de Lyon ends in 2027, so the French club has only one more season after the current one before losing the player without a transfer fee.

The move also addresses a specific need for Atlético. The team of Diego Simeone already signed Alejandro Grimaldo for the left-back position but is still considering alternatives to complete that position during the market close.

Tagliafico also has international experience with Argentina and was a world champion in 2022. In the 2025/26 season, he played 22 matches for Lyon, with 16 starting appearances, 1,469 minutes, and three assists according to available records.

Juventus' Dependence on Juan Cabal

Juventus has been working on the full-back's addition for several days. The Italian club showed interest in Tagliafico with the possibility of loaning Juan Cabal to Atalanta, a move that conditions the arrival of the Argentine.

The issue for the Turin club is the timeline. As long as Cabal remains in the squad, the operation for Tagliafico stays blocked, allowing Atlético de Madrid to enter the scene and negotiate directly with Lyon.

Tagliafico himself reportedly gave a positive response to the prospect of playing in Madrid, although the agreement still depends on discussions between Atlético and Olympique de Lyon. Juventus keeps their alternative open if they manage to resolve Cabal's situation.

The conclusion must take place in the next few hours. With the LaLiga transfer market closing on September 1, Atlético de Madrid needs to make progress with Lyon if they want to complete the signing of Nicolás Tagliafico before the Spanish deadline expires.
