Jorge García, a journalist for As, reported that Atlético de Madrid has initiated efforts to improve the contract of Marc Pubill, a 22-year-old Spanish centre-back. The club's intention is to acknowledge his performance and align his salary with his status within the team. Atlético de Madrid aims to finalize this action swiftly to communicate his future importance and to make sure he is not available on the transfer market this summer. His current contract is valid until 2030 and was initially modest because he joined from Almería in the Segunda División in July 2025. Pubill, who has 9 caps and 1 goal for Spain U21, has a current market value of €28.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and has previously been linked with clubs that include Liverpool.
