Fichajes claims that Chelsea may make a summer transfer bid of €35 million to sign Giuliano Simeone, forcing Atletico Madrid to consider the young attacker’s future. The Argentine has established himself with both Diego Simeone’s team and his country, and the Spanish powerhouses would profit handsomely from his trade.
When Atletico Madrid was able to entice Julian Alvarez away from Manchester City last summer, they did have a big influence on the transfer market. Although the amount of money involved in the sale generally indicates that the Spanish powerhouses are not scared to compete with other major clubs in the market, the squad is still dealing with some residual financial problems.
Simeone, who scored against Brazil during the most recent international break, advanced to the national squad after making his debut in Atletico Madrid’s first team. He has an amazing career ahead of him, and Diego Simeone probably wants him to stay with the team. However, the club’s board will ultimately decide his destiny.

The South American is highly admired by Chelsea, according to Fichajes, and the Blues have now put a €35 million (£29 million) offer on the table in an attempt to close a deal before the summer transfer window opens.
Atletico is open to a sale because his departure would benefit the Red and Whites, according to the report, which also claims that several major European clubs are closely monitoring the situation.
In 2019, Simeone joined Atletico after beginning his youth career with River Plate. He advanced through the club’s junior system before making his first-team debut in 2022. Prior to playing on loan for Alaves last season, the forward spent the 2022–2023 season with Real Zaragoza. He made 16 appearances for the Basque team.
Having played in every Atletico La Liga game since the beginning of October, Simeone has established himself as a mainstay down the right for the capital powerhouses, giving the team much-needed balance. Therefore, Simeone might be a steal at just £29 million, so it would be odd if Atletico let him leave for that amount, but Chelsea might very well benefit from their loss.
