Giuliano Simeone - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back early from vacation Simeone is back early from his vacation to begin preseason with Atletico Madrid, according to Atletico MD.

Impact Simeone was a standout for Argentina during their run to the World Cup final, capping the tournament with a strong contribution down the flank that helped power a late comeback in the semifinal. His early return to club training shifts focus to preseason preparations, and he now looks to carry that momentum forward as he pushes for a similar role with Atletico heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga season.

Two chances created Simeone had two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 win over England.

Impact Simeone was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI during Wednesday's win, but he was excellent throughout the match. The midfielder was dangerous down the flank and kept England's full-backs from ever being comfortable. He also contributed to the late onslaught that brought Argentina all the way back and ended with a spot in the World Cup final. It's unclear if Simeone will be trusted with the starting nod in that final though.

Trains fully, back fit Simeone (undisclosed) has trained with the group for a second consecutive day and is back in contention for Sunday's clash against Girona, according to Pedro Fullana of Cadena SER.

Impact Simeone had been ruled out of Tuesday's clash against Osasuna due to an undisclosed issue, but his return to collective training on back-to-back days is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to rejoin the squad for the final two fixtures of the season. The winger's availability for the Antoine Griezmann farewell occasion at the Metropolitano is a welcome boost for coach Diego Simeone heading into what promises to be an emotional afternoon for the club.

Impact Simeone has been managing the issue that ruled him out of Saturday's clash against Celta Vigo, and his continued absence from training is a concern heading into Atletico's final stretch of the season. The club will assess his condition ahead of Tuesday's kickoff before making a final call on his involvement, with Atletico managing their squad carefully through the closing stages of the campaign.

Impact Simeone had featured in the Champions League second leg against Arsenal on Tuesday but has been unable to train ahead of the weekend fixture, suggesting the knock he had been managing caught up with him after the European exertion.

Two shots in return Simeone generated two shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Simeone returned to the pitch Tuesday and took a pair of shots, but failed to put a single on target. The midfielder really just couldn't get involved in the attack during his time on the pitch and was left with a disappointing showing during the loss. He and the club now turn their attention solely to domestic action to close out the campaign.

Starting Tuesday Simone (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Simone was always likely to return Tuesday after he suffered a minor injury in the first leg, with the midfielder starting instantly. This is a major development for the club as they get back some of their elusiveness on the flanks, an attacker who can find space and create his own. However, he has not recorded a UCL goal contribution since the league stage.

Leaves UCL game with discomfort Simeone was forced to exit Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal due to a physical issue.

Impact Simeone had a quiet first half in terms of attacking production and didn't return to the pitch for the final 45 minutes Wednesday. This potential injury could force the winger to miss upcoming contests, but the full extent of the blow remains unknown. After his withdrawal, Atletico added a third center-back in Robin Le Normand, though Alex Baena and Thiago Almada would be more direct alternatives to cover Simeone's attacking duties if required in future contests.
