Here to stay, Giuliano signs contract extension until 2030
The striker, who recently turned 23, had been linked in recent reports with a contract extension until 2030, and Giuliano is now officially tied to the club until June 30, 2030, clearly underlining that the Rojiblancos view him as a key figure for the years ahead.
It’s not just a reward for his performances this season; it’s also a sign that the club believe he can grow into one of their main men over the next decade.
His previous deal was supposed to run until 2028, but after a season where he impressed in almost every match, Atlético decided to extend it by another two years. The new contract also makes it clear to other clubs Simeone isn’t going anywhere soon.
Simeone’s journey hasn’t been straightforward. He joined Atlético’s academy back in 2019 and spent crucial loan spells at Real Zaragoza and Deportivo Alavés. Those experiences were key in shaping him, and when he returned to the first team, he quickly became a versatile and reliable option under Diego Simeone.
This season, he’s been among the top performers in both minutes played and goal contributions, showing he can handle La Liga pressure.
On top of that, his club form caught the eye internationally. In November 2024, he earned his first senior call-up for Argentina and marked the occasion with a goal on his debut. That moment proved he’s not just a talent at Atlético, but someone to watch on the world stage too.
For both the fans and the club, this new deal represents more than just numbers on paper, it’s stability, ambition, and hope for exciting seasons ahead. Giuliano Simeone looks set to play a huge role in Atlético Madrid’s future, helping the club chase success not only in Spain but also across Europe.
