🤑 Deal struck for the sale of Atlético de Madrid, according to Vozpópuli | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid is on the verge of undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its recent history. According to Vozpópuli, vice president Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has sealed a framework agreement with the American investment fund Apollo for its majority entry into the share capital of the rojiblanco club. This strategic move places the club’s valuation at over 2 billion euros, a historic figure for the LALIGA club.

The transaction will be formalized through a capital increase, which will allow Apollo to become the majority shareholder of Atleti at the beginning of January 2026. This process will ensure that the club receives a crucial financial injection without the current leaders having to completely step aside, as both Gil Marín and Enrique Cerezo will retain part of their ownership.

Sources close to the negotiations emphasize that the agreement seeks to guarantee stability and future growth, while maintaining the current sporting structure. For this reason, it is expected that Simeone’s project and the team will benefit from the new financial power that the investment fund will bring to the club.

This new capital will allow Atlético de Madrid to compete more robustly on the international stage and within LALIGA. Apollo’s entry not only represents an investment, but a long-term strategic vision aimed at consolidating Atleti as a football powerhouse and a global benchmark.

The majority change of hands is a clear indication of the growing appeal of European football and the Atlético de Madrid brand. Atleti fans hope that this new era under Apollo’s control will propel the club to new sporting successes, always maintaining the identity forged during the Simeone era.
