Atletico Madrid has found in Pablo Barrios the key piece to build its future. After a season where the young midfielder has shown exceptional level, the red and white club is already working on his renewal with the goal of making him a fundamental pillar for the upcoming years.
Barrios has been one of the great revelations under the guidance of Diego Simeone. His ability to control the midfield, his vision of the game, and his potential have been decisive for him to consolidate his place in the starting eleven, displacing even historical references like Koke. This meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed, and from the board, they are clear that the homegrown player must become one of the main faces of the project.
Atletico wants to retain Pablo Barrios for many more years
Atletico plans to offer him a new long-term contract that would link him to the club until 2030. As reported by 'ElDesmarque', this agreement would include a significant improvement in his salary, currently set at 3 million euros, as well as a release clause close to 100 million euros. With these conditions, the team aims to ward off the interest of European giants like Manchester City, who have shown admiration for his talent.
Alongside figures like Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann, Atletico aims to build its success around Barrios. Beyond his impact on the field, the club sees him as an emblem of the institution, similar to the role Koke has played in recent years.
