Atletico Madrid hijack defender despite Premier League deal
Atletico Madrid’s Right-Back Signing Saga
Atletico Madrid’s pursuit of former Osasuna right-back Jesus Areso took an unexpected turn when Athletic Club swooped in with a better offer, leaving Los Rojiblancos scrambling for an alternative. Areso, who had a deal in place with Atletico, saw his transfer plans fall through, prompting Atletico to explore other options.
Atletico Madrid Secure Marc Pubill
Amidst interest from AC Milan and Wolves, Atletico Madrid successfully secured the signing of Marc Pubill from Almeria. Despite previous interest from Atalanta and Barcelona, Atletico managed to convince both Almeria and Pubill with their proposal. The 22-year-old Olympic gold medallist will join Atletico Madrid in a deal worth €16m plus add-ons and a sell-on fee for Almeria.
Marc Pubill’s Journey to Prominence
Pubill’s rise to prominence started at Levante before he even made his senior debut. Despite interest from Barcelona, Pubill found success at Almeria, where he quickly established himself as a key player. With his speed and versatility, Pubill offers Atletico Madrid a promising defensive prospect who can contribute in attack as well.
Diego Simeone will be looking to integrate Pubill into his squad as a younger alternative to Marcos Llorente, providing depth and competition in the right-back position. With his skillset and potential, Pubill could prove to be a valuable addition to Atletico’s squad.
