Atletico Madrid has already made a clear decision regarding the future of Rodrigo de Paul: they are willing to let him leave this summer for a fee close to 30 million euros. The club's stance is firm, but it does not seem to align with the player's, who does not contemplate leaving at this point in his career. This scenario poses a dilemma between the board's planning and the Argentine midfielder's desire to remain a key piece of the rojiblanco project.
De Paul has gone through ups and downs since his arrival at the Metropolitano, but in the last year and a half, he has regained his best form, establishing himself as one of the most important figures in the midfield. Despite his consistent performances, the club is looking to preempt a possible free transfer in 2026 by not renewing his contract, which has motivated his decision to seek a transfer now to generate considerable revenue.

While Atletico seeks to monetize his departure, the player has other plans. With a valid contract and settled both in the dressing room and in the city, the World Cup champion with Argentina does not seem inclined to entertain offers. He has even made it clear that he does not see himself outside the club and has expressed his commitment to Diego Simeone's team.
Meanwhile, the sports management is working on a gradual transition in midfield. Koke has already lost prominence, and Pablo Barrios has gained ground, but there is still no clear figure to assume De Paul's role. The club is already considering options like Johnny Cardoso to reinforce the area, although everything indicates that the Argentine's future will be a central issue in this summer market.
