JUNE 12, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Juan Musso - Signs with Atletico until 2028 Musso has signed a contract with Atletico until 2028, the club announced.

Impact Musso joins Atletico on a permanent transfer after his loan spell from Atalanta during the 2024-25 season. He made nine appearances this season, seven in Copa del Rey and two in LaLiga, and recorded six clean sheets. The Argentine previously won the Europa League with Atalanta in 2024 and was a Copa America and Finalissima Champion in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Clement Lenglet - Signs with Atletico permanently Lenglet has signed with Atletico Madrid on a free transfer, according to his new club.

Impact Lenglet spent the past season on loan with Atletico and will remain with the club for the next few campaigns after signing a free transfer with the club for three seasons. He would start in all 23 of his league appearances last campaign, shaping out a solid role in the defense with the club. That said, the defender will look to continue in this role in the 2025/26 campaign after inking his new deal.

JUNE 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Horatiu Moldovan - Heading back to Atletico Madrid Moldovan won't be retained past his loan spell, Sassuolo announced.

Impact Moldovan was more than serviceable and contributed to the promotion, allowing 27 goals and keeping 11 clean sheets in 27 matches, but Sassuolo will likely lean on Stefano Turati, who played on loan at Monza in the past campaign, between the sticks. He might stay as a deputy since Atletico Madrid leaned on a loanee, Juan Musso, behind Jan Oblak in 2024/2025 and are unlikely to buy him out.

JUNE 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Koke - Extends contract until 2026 Koke has signed a contract extension for one additional season with Atletico, the club announced.

Impact Koke will remain Atletico's captain for one more season until June 2026 as he extended his contract with the Colchoneros. The midfielder started his journey with his heart club in 2009 and has since made history as the player with the most games in red and white, with 681 appearances in total. He will aim to surpass the 700-game mark next season after ending the 2024-25 campaign with 39 appearances across all competitions, scoring once and providing two assists.

Griezmann signs contract extension at Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid has handed Antoine Griezmann a two-year contract extension which could keep the French forward with the club until he’s 36

JUNE 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Antoine Griezmann - Renews with Atletico Griezmann has renewed his contract with Atletico Madrid, according to his club.

Impact Griezmann is going to remain with Atletico for a few more seasons now, as the forward inked a new deal until June 2027. This continues his second stage with the club, having rejoined since the 2022/23 season. He still sees a starting role after 14 goals and nine assists in 48 appearances (38 starts) last season, so he will look to continue in that role and add to the club-leading 197 goals, as he is their all-time top scorer.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Martin - Going back to Atletico Martin is going back to Atletico Madrid after spending the whole season with Alaves on loan, the club announced.

Impact Martin spent his first full season in La Liga on loan with Alaves, appearing in 26 games, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He will now return to Atletico with his future a bit uncertain as he might be loaned out again next season.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Griezmann - Ends season in cold streak Griezmann recorded eight goals and seven assists across 38 appearances (29 starts) in the 2024/25 Liga season.

Impact Griezmann's goalscoring totals were down considerably compared to recent years, but perhaps the most worrying sign is that he didn't score a single goal between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League since Feb. 1, ending the 2024/25 campaign on an 18-game scoring drought. Given how productive Julian Alvarez (17 goals in 37 Liga appearances) and Alexander Sorloth (20 goals in 35 league contests) were in league play, don't be surprised if Griezmann has a reduced role in 2025/26, which could be his final year at the club.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Giuliano Simeone - Earns regular role Simeone started in 26 of his 33 appearances during the 2024/25 Liga season, tallying two goals and six assists.

Impact Simeone recorded six starts and 14 appearances on loan with Alaves in the 2023/24 campaign, and he came out of nowhere to secure a regular starting role for Atletico this season, albeit playing a bit out of position. He was efficient, and his displays also allowed him to earn a call-up to the Argentina national team. Atletico Madrid are reportedly looking to sign a left winger in the summer transfer window, though, and if that's the case, Simeone's upside would decrease considerably for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Llorente - Showcases versatility Llorente recorded two goals and four assists across 33 appearances (28 starts) during the 2024/25 season. He also notched 62 crosses, 69 tackles, 49 clearances, 27 interceptions an...

Impact The versatility has always been Llorente's calling card, and that was in full display again during the 2024/25 campaign. He saw time as a right-back, right wing-back and central midfielder while showing the ability to fill several tactical roles. Llorente should remain one of the first names on Diego Simeone's sheet for the 2025/26 campaign as well.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Barrios - Logs career-high in starts Barrios started in 28 of his 31 appearances in the 2024/25 Liga season, tallying one goal and four assists.

Impact Even though Barrios operated as the most defensive-minded central midfielder in Atletico's 4-4-2 system, he still recorded a career-high mark in assists, as well as in other categories as well. He recently signed a contract extension until the end of the 2029/30 season, so Barrios should remain a regular name in Atletico's starting XI for years to come.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nahuel Molina - Logs three assists in 30 outings Molina recorded three assists, 55 crosses, 44 tackles and 44 clearances in 30 appearances (17 starts) in the 2024/25 Liga season. He also notched eight appearances (three starts) i...

Impact Molina provided value on both ends of the pitch from his role as a right-back, though he earned most of his fantasy upside from defensive stats. Atletico Madrid are expected to bolster their squad in the summer, but they shouldn't target a right-back, so Molina is likely to remain a regular fixture in the lineup for Atletico Madrid in the 2025/26 campaign.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cesar Azpilicueta - Limited to 14 appearances Azpilicueta was limited to 14 appearances (10 starts) in the 2024/25 Liga season, tallying one goal, 25 tackles and 29 clearances.

Impact Azpilicueta wasn't the regular starter on the right side of the defense this season, as he shared the workload with Nahuel Molina, but the veteran remains a reliable option for Diego Simeone. That said, the nature of his inconsistent role and playing time limits his fantasy upside. That scenario shouldn't change for the 2025/26 campaign.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Galan - Three assists this season Galan recorded three assists, 57 crosses, 51 tackles and 42 clearances in 25 appearances (21 starts) in the 2024/25 Liga season.

Impact Galan joined Atletico Madrid last season, but this was his first full campaign under the tutelage of Diego Simeone, and he thrived in a starting role. The left-back should remain a regular for Atletico Madrid next season even if the team aims to bolster their defensive depth during the transfer market.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Le Normand - Impressive debut with Atletico Le Normand started in 24 of his 27 Liga appearances this season, tallying one goal, 119 clearances, 27 tackles and 10 interceptions.

Impact Le Normand was a regular starter for Atletico Madrid in his first year with the club and recorded a career-high 119 clearances, besting the numbers he had posted in his previous years at Real Sociedad. Atletico Madrid are being rumored to be interested in adding another center-back to the mix in the summer, but even if that's the case, Le Normand will be a solid depth piece who should record starts on a semi-regular basis when healthy.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Maria Gimenez - Records triple-digit clearances Gimenez recorded 115 clearances, 27 interceptions and 26 tackles across 27 appearances (20 starts) in the 2024/25 Liga season. He also made eight starts in the UEFA Champions Leagu...

Impact Gimenez recorded more than 100 clearances just for the second time in his career since joining Atletico. The defender was a regular for Los Colchoneros, and he missed only three matches due to injury between the Liga and the UCL. Gimenez remains under contract at Atletico for the 2025/26 season and should remain a regular piece at the back for the club.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Conor Gallagher - Delivers assist against Girona Gallagher provided one assist in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Girona in the season finale, wrapping up a 41-appearances campaign.

Impact Gallagher brought intensity and work rate to every match and did the same against Girona when entering for the last 20 minutes, contributing to his third assist of the season in La Liga. Gallagher adapted quickly to Spanish football, especially with his ability to win duels and support forward play, appearing in 41 games across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing four assists. He looks set to become a long-term piece in Atletico's midfield core in both the heart of the pitch or on the left flank when asked upon.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rodrigo De Paul - Finds assist in season finale De Paul recorded his fifth assist of the season in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Girona in the season finale, wrapping up a 44-appearances campaign.

Impact De Paul set up Alexander Sorloth's opener with a perfectly weighted pass into the box, marking his fifth assist in the league this season. His consistency in midfield helped Atletico control tempo and transition quickly. De Paul continues to be a crucial link between defense and attack and finished his second season in a row with more than 2,000 minutes in La Liga. He equaled his goals and assists from last season in the league and recorded one goal contribution in the Champions League this year as well, though this time it was an assist rather than a goal. De Paul is expected to remain the leader in the midfield for the team next season.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Alvarez - Provides assist in victory Alvarez provided one assist and a secondary assist in the season final game against Girona on Sunday.

Impact Alvarez was involved in two of the four goals against Girona on Sunday, continuing his trend of delivering in big moments. His combination of scoring and playmaking made him one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe, scoring 24 goals and providing five assists in his 47 appearances across all competitions. He set new season highs with 17 league goals and seven Champions League goals and is expected to be the main leader in the frontline for next season with the Colchoneros.
