🤑 Deal for Atlético de Madrid sale sealed, reports newspaper | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is about to undergo one of the biggest transformations in its recent history.

According to the newspaper Vozpópuli, vice-president Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has reached a preliminary agreement with the American investment fund Apollo for its majority entry into the club's share capital.

This operation values the entity at more than 2 billion euros, a historic value for the LaLiga club.

The transaction will be formalized through a capital increase, allowing Apollo to become the majority shareholder of Atleti at the beginning of January 2026.

The process will ensure a crucial financial injection without the current leaders needing to step down completely, as both Gil Marín and Enrique Cerezo will retain part of their shares.

Sources close to the negotiations emphasize that the agreement aims to ensure stability and future growth, maintaining the current sports structure.

Thus, it is expected that Simeone's project and his team will benefit from the new economic power that the fund will bring to the club.

This new capital will allow Atlético de Madrid to compete more strongly on the international stage and within LaLiga.

Apollo's entry represents not just an investment, but a long-term strategic vision, seeking to consolidate Atleti as a powerhouse in world football.

The change in majority control is a clear indication of the growing appeal of European football and the strength of the Atlético de Madrid brand.

Fans hope that this new phase under Apollo's leadership will lead the club to new sporting successes, preserving the identity built during the Simeone era.
