Last-minute swerve in the summer transfer market 2025\/26. Despite everything seeming to be on track for Marc Pubill<\/strong>, a 22-year-old right-back, to sign for AC Milan<\/a> \u2014a team with whom he recently underwent a first medical evaluation to explore<\/strong> his physical condition ahead of a possible future incorporation\u2014, the Terrassa native has finally ended up signing for another team.<\/p>

Pubill signs for Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid for \u20ac20M including bonuses<\/h2>

Pubill<\/strong>, in an unexpected market move, has become a new player for Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong>. ‘Cholo’ Simeone’s<\/strong> team, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, closed the deal for around \u20ac20M including variables<\/strong> (16+4). In turn, UD Almer\u00eda<\/strong> secured a 15% clause in case of a future sale.<\/p>

With this operation, the colchoneros<\/em> \u2014who have already spent more than 100 million euros<\/strong> on various operations this summer\u2014 are ahead of clubs such as AC Milan<\/strong>, Wolves<\/strong> and FC Barcelona<\/strong>, signing one of the young full-backs with the greatest potential in the market. Pubill<\/strong> arrives at the rojiblanco<\/em> team with his main achievement at the national team level: the Olympic champion title in Paris 2024.<\/p>

Marc<\/strong> also has in his favor the fact that he comes from a 2024\/25 season with physical regularity. It should not be forgotten that, in the 2023\/24 season, he did suffer a significant injury to his left knee: an osteochondritis dissecans<\/strong>, for which he underwent a heterologous graft in the lesional bed.<\/p>

    Barcelona loses another option to reinforce the right-back position<\/h2>

    With this move, FC Barcelona<\/strong> also loses a market option to reinforce the right-back position, especially thinking about the future. It should be noted that this 2025\/26 season seems to have ruled out the incorporation of a new right-back<\/strong>, in a demarcation that has Jules Kound\u00e9<\/strong> as a starter, and H\u00e9ctor Fort<\/strong> and Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong> as valuable alternatives.<\/p>
