Atlético Madrileño squads for the 2025-2026 season | OneFootball

Many have asked me to detail and make public the squad of Atlético Madrileño for this season, so let's get to work. Said and done. We remind you that the team has moved this season to Alcalá de Henares until the City of Sport is built, and this Monday, September 1st at 19:30 will be the first match of the season and at home, hosting Atlético Sanluqueño.

In goal, it's quite clear: the two main goalkeepers will be Salvador Esquivel and Mario de Luis. We understand they will alternate throughout the season, and both have been training with the first team in preseason. Luismi Morales will join as the third goalkeeper.

In defense, there have been changes following the departures of Martín Pascual and Pablo Pérez, both to Mirandés. As right-backs, there will be Javier Boñar, Romeo Hueso, and Carlos Giménez, although the latter also plays as a center-back. As pure left-backs, there will be Julio Díaz and Adrián Corral, although in reality, Dani Martínez (center-back) has occupied that position in preseason. The center-backs will be Aleksa Puric, Gerónimo Spina, Mati Barboza, Ilias Kostis, and Dani Martínez. Another possibility is for Corral to play as a center-back, as he played in that position two seasons ago during his loan to Rayo Cantabria, and last season at CUC Villalba at a very good level.

In midfield, there have been quite a few changes. Joaquín González left for Cádiz and Selu Diallo returned to Alavés to be loaned to Cultural Leonesa, not to mention the last-minute loan of David Muñoz to Ourense CF of the Primera Federación (although he was just a player who joined the reserve team dynamics with a few minutes and little more). The midfielders will be Javier Serrano, Javier Morcillo, Martín Bellotti, Jorge Castillo, and the uncertainty of Taufik Seidu, who was presented as a player of Madrileño at the Welcome Night although we expected him to be part of the C. Castillo, for his part, performs better as an interior, so, seeing Fernando Torres's scheme, it wouldn't be strange to see him in the attacking midfield or even as an interior if a midfield of 3 players is formed.

Regarding the attacking midfield, only Jano Monserrate appears as such, although he can start from the right wing. The same happens with Rayane Belaid, but on the left. Mestanza has been loaned to Getafe B of the Segunda Federación, so perhaps the position is somewhat "lacking." On the wings, on the right will play Iker Luque and Koke Mota, while on the left will be Jorge Rajado and Rayane Belaid.

Finally, the center-forward position is possibly the one that has undergone the most changes. We have gone from an overbooking with 4 forwards... to having only Omar Janneh while waiting for the confirmation of the signing of Darío Sits, a 21-year-old Latvian striker from Parma.
