Several clubs, including Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Fenerbahçe, are monitoring 31-year-old Atlético de Madrid captain José María Giménez after he lost his regular starting role. Giménez has a contract until 2028, but it is understood that Atlético and manager Diego Simeone would not significantly obstruct his departure if the terms are not detrimental to the club. Reports from March 2026 indicated Fenerbahçe was prepared to meet an expected asking price of approximately €10 million, while a month earlier it was reported Atlético might allow a free transfer.
