🚨Official: Atlético wrap up the transfer window with Mendoza | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid has once again made a strong impact in the Spanish transfer market. After several days of intense negotiations, the Colchonero club has reached a definitive verbal agreement with Elche CF for the transfer of Rodrigo Mendoza. The young Spanish midfield gem, who has dazzled this season at the Martínez Valero, will come under the orders of Diego Simeone in a move that highlights the generational renewal of the rojiblanco squad.

Financial details of the agreement

The deal has been closed for a total package of 16 million euros, to which various performance-based add-ons will be added. Mendoza signed a contract until 2031. This figure reflects the valuation of a footballer who has become one of the brightest revelations in national football, standing out for his vision of the game and his ability to break lines from the midfield area.

Atleti prevails over the Premier League

The signing becomes even more significant considering that several Premier League clubs were closely following the midfielder for the upcoming summer transfer window. However, the player’s desire to remain in Spain and join Simeone’s project was decisive in tipping the balance. With this addition, Atlético de Madrid secures one of the most promising talents in the league, getting ahead of the English giants and strengthening their midfield with youth and technical quality.
