Atletico Madrid buys 9th player

Atletico Madrid continue to stir up the summer transfer window as they close in on their ninth signing, Enzo Millot.

Enzo Millot will be Atletico Madrid's next new signing.

According to Marca , Stuttgart and Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement on the Millot deal. "Los Rojiblancos" will pay the full amount of 20 million euros in the 23-year-old's release clause, but in several payments.

The Bundesliga club allowed the French midfielder to miss the friendly against Celta Vigo to finalise the details of his move to Atletico Madrid. Millot had a breakout 2024/25 season, scoring 12 goals in all competitions for Stuttgart – his best return in his career.

Millot will become Atletico's ninth signing this summer. Diego Simeone's team will have spent more than 175 million euros on nine transfers this summer, while only receiving 16 million euros in the opposite direction.

Previously, defenders Clement Lenglet, Matteo Ruggeri, Marc Pubill and David Hancko, three midfielders Alex Baena, Thiago Almada and Johnny Cardoso, and goalkeeper Juan Musso all signed contracts with the Spanish capital club. In the opposite direction, Atletico Madrid said goodbye to Rodrigo Riquelme, Angel Correa and Rodrigo De Paul.

According to AS , coach Diego Simeone has been given a huge transfer budget by Atletico Madrid's board of directors to build a squad capable of challenging Barcelona and Real Madrid. "Los Rojiblancos" finished last La Liga season in third place, which made coach Simeone unhappy. This strategist has repeatedly called on Atletico Madrid's board of directors to reform the squad.
