Marc Pubill is undergoing a meteoric evolution at Atlético de Madrid. The Catalan footballer, who arrived from Almería as a right-back, has reinvented himself to become the most reliable center back in the red and white team.

At 22 years old, his growth has been so evident that there is already open talk about his presence in the upcoming World Cup.

From full-back in Almería to undisputed center back

Marc Pubill landed at Atlético de Madrid after standing out as a wing-back at UD Almería. However, his adaptation to the heart of the defense has been one of the great surprises of the season.

His physical power, speed in interceptions, and strength in aerial play have enabled him to establish himself as a top-level center back. Furthermore, his past as a full-back gives him a clean ball distribution and the ability to cover in wide spaces.

The coaching staff especially values his ability to anticipate and his personality in big games. He is not just a project for the future; he is already a competitive reality.

World Cup on the horizon and a million-euro release clause

Pubill's performance has led many analysts to consider him a strong candidate for the next World Cup call-up with Spain. His consistency and defensive maturity support that option.

Currently, his release clause is set at 80 million euros. A high figure, but one that is starting to seem achievable for major European clubs if he maintains this level.

Within the red and white environment, there is concern. FC Barcelona and several Premier League teams are closely monitoring his progress.

Strategic renewal at the Metropolitano

Atlético's priority is clear: to secure him as soon as possible. The club aims to extend his contract, improve his salary, and above all, raise his release clause to fend off external temptations.

The goal is not only to protect a sporting asset but to consolidate him as a structural piece of the medium and long-term project.

Marc Pubill represents present and future. His tactical transformation and competitive growth have placed him in the national elite in record time.

Atlético de Madrid does not want to lose one of its greatest gems. The coming summer will be crucial in determining whether Pubill continues to lead the red and white defense or if his name becomes one of the most coveted in the international market.
