The Simeone name is officially tied to the CÃvitas Metropolitano for the rest of the decade. On Thursday, January 15, 2026, Atlético Madrid announced that Giuliano Simeone has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until June 30, 2030.
The 23-year-old forward, who is the youngest son of legendary manager Diego "Cholo" Simeone, has seen his market value skyrocket to €46 million
following a stellar 2025/26 campaign. To ward off interest from the Premier League and emerging markets, Atlético has reportedly inserted a massive €500 million release clause into the new agreement.
Key Highlights:
The Creative Engine: With 7 assists already this season, he ranks among the top creative wingers in Spain, averaging a goal involvement every 207 minutes.
Iron Man Status: Giuliano has started 15 of the last 18 league matches, proving his fitness after early-career injury struggles.
Clutch Performer: He recently provided the decisive assist in the 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad (Jan 4) and was a standout performer in the Supercopa derby against Real Madrid.
The "Simeone Dynasty" at Atleti
Giuliano’s rise is the latest chapter in a family legacy that defines modern Atlético Madrid. While his brothers Giovanni (Napoli) and Gianluca also followed professional paths, Giuliano is the first to truly cement himself in his father's starting XI.
Enrique Cerezo (Club President): "Giuliano has earned this with sweat and talent. He represents the values of this club—courage and heart. We are proud to have him here until 2030."
Giuliano Simeone: "This is my home. I’ve worked through the academy and loans to prove I belong here. Signing until 2030 is a dream, and I’m ready to give everything for this shirt."
The Verdict: By securing Giuliano until 2030, Atlético has protected one of the most versatile young assets in Europe. His ability to play as a right winger, wing-back, or second striker gives Diego Simeone tactical flexibility as the club looks to bridge the gap to Barcelona and Real Madrid.
