Atletico Madrid Aims to Keep Marcos Llorente Beyond 2026

Atletico Madrid is taking steps to secure a contract extension for midfielder Marcos Llorente before the end of 2026.

As Llorente's current contract is set to expire at the end of the 2026/27 season, several top clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, are reportedly interested in signing him as a free agent in 2027.
