Tottenham is interested in signing Giuliano Simeone, an winger from Atlético de Madrid, for January. The next target for Tottenham's signing is a forward who can provide resources to the squad rotation.

Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Spurs, has requested direct monitoring of the Argentine international, but the Spanish club has refused to negotiate below his release clause of 500 million euros.

Roberto De Zerbi's Request at Tottenham

The 23-year-old forward has a market value of 40.00 million euros on Transfermarkt, with 17 international caps and 3 goals for the Argentine national team. In the last summer window, both Manchester City and Manchester United made formal inquiries about his transfer conditions, but Tottenham has taken the lead in the talks at De Zerbi's request, considering the player's profile fitting in their tactical system.

Despite British persistence, the Atlético's leadership reiterated they have no intention to approve a short-term sale.

Renewal at Atlético de Madrid and the player's firm stance

The player's contract with Atlético de Madrid runs until June 2030 after an extension in January 2026, setting his current release clause at 500 million euros. The forward is content in the Spanish capital under Diego Simeone's guidance, showing no desire to move to the Premier League to the club's management.

Maintaining the forward is a priority for the Madrid technical department as they aim to preserve the core of the team for LaLiga and Champions League competitions.

Tottenham's planning for the January market

The Tottenham board is assessing the financial viability of making a formal offer in the coming windows without breaching English financial regulations. The club's financial strength allows for a high transfer fee, but Atlético's stance requires offers close to the player's actual market value to start negotiations.

The British executives are banking on the coaching staff's persistence to keep negotiation avenues open. Tottenham's scouts will monitor Giuliano Simeone's official LaLiga matches in November and December of 2026.

Should Atlético de Madrid refuse to lower their financial demands in the next winter transfer window, Tottenham will evaluate submitting an initial offer in the January market.
