Marc Pubill close to new Atlético de Madrid deal after Benfica links | OneFootball

Marc Pubill is close to extending his stay at Atlético de Madrid, with the club preparing a renewal offer. According to Glorioso 1904, the Spain international has become an important option for Diego Simeone.

The club want to finalise a new contract before the end of 2026, reflecting confidence in the 23-year-old. He is currently with the Spain squad and is open to continuing in Madrid.

Before moving to Madrid, he was repeatedly linked with Benfica during his Almería spell, but a transfer to the Estádio da Luz never materialised.

He joined Atlético in summer 2025 from Almería in a €16 million transfer. Initially a right-back, Simeone has since used him at centre-back, a role in which he has grown in stature.

Now established at Atlético, Pubill has nine appearances and two goals this season, as he prepares the next step at the highest level.
