Giuliano Simeone has firmly declared his loyalty to Atlético Madrid, making headlines after shutting down any possibility of joining rivals Real Madrid. In comments shared by Fabrizio Romano via x handle, the 23-year-old winger was unequivocal:
“Do I see myself at Real Madrid? Impossible. I’ll never join them.”
The statement underlines not just rivalry, but identity. For Giuliano son of Atlético boss Diego Simeone the club represents more than a career step; it’s a legacy he is now actively shaping.
That commitment was reinforced in January 2026 when he signed a long-term contract extension running until 2030, complete with a staggering €500 million release clause. The deal signals Atlético’s belief in his future and positions him as a central figure in the club’s long-term project.
On the pitch, Simeone is backing up the hype. In the UEFA Champions League clash against Galatasaray in Istanbul, he made an instant impact, scoring in just the 4th minute.
Although the match ended 1–1 after an unfortunate own goal from Marcos Llorente, Simeone’s early strike highlighted his growing confidence on Europe’s biggest stage.
Domestically, he has also played a key role, featuring in Atlético’s dramatic 3–2 victory over Real Madrid in La Liga another moment that further endeared him to the Rojiblanco faithful.
Often called “Giuli,” the young winger has evolved from a promising academy talent into a reliable first-team starter. Softfootball reported that With 3 goals and 6 assists in La Liga so far this season, his development has been described as “spectacular,” with his energy, directness, and tactical discipline embodying the spirit of Atlético Madrid.
In an era where transfers often blur loyalties, Giuliano Simeone’s message is clear: his future is red and white, and Real Madrid is not part of it.
