After being heavily linked with a move to AC Milan in the past few days, Marc Pubill is now heading for Atletico Madrid.
It has been a rather strange few days for Pubill. It started when the Almeria star underwent a medical over the weekend to assess the stability of his left knee, carried out by Milan’s doctors.

Everything suggested that the move would accelerate after he passed the tests, but it then emerged that it hadn’t removed the Rossoneri’s remaining doubts, which were more to do with his ability than his fitness.
Pubill heads for the capital
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Spain U21 international will be moving, but to Madrid: “Atlético Madrid agree deal to sign Marc Pubill as RB from Almeria. Atléti hijack Wolves deal for Pubill and sign the RB on permanent move after an agreement reached today.
“Pubill signs five year contract as new Atlético player. Atlético Madrid paid €20m package with add-ons included for Marc Pubill. Almería will also have 15% sell-on clause.”
It comes after Pubill seemed Wolves-bound. The Premier League side offered €15m plus add-ons and sell-on clause for him and they hope to get the deal done in the next hours to beat the competition from other clubs, but in the end lost out.
Atletico, Arsenal, Liverpool, Napoli are really going for rebuilds
It was already stated that Allegri prefers a Doue over Pubill
They don’t even need him, they have Llorente and Molina.
Pubill will just be a backup at Atleti but a starter at Milan
Milan should rather just go for Molina before Juve gets him
No Regret! I’m O.K. with this.
Honestly, for a player from outside, who has never played in a big team, or a big league! + Left knee uncertainty! + 190cm tall for RB! + Not our first choice!; “€20m package with add-ons and 15% sell-on clause! “; is madness! A gamble we couldn’t take.
Right-Back become one of those spellbound positins for Milan!
Davide Calabria (for many years) & Andrea Conti – Florenzi – Diogo Dalot – Sergino Dest – Kalulu – Emerson Royal – Kyle Walker &… we still in search!
And I don’t see any decent one or at reasonable price on the market. And I don’t want to add a name to the list above!
.
We should trust Alex Jimenez as 1st choice! Max can improve his defensive ability; and make him a modern and perfect RB! New Theo on the right!
Also, Filippo Terracciano! He made a mistake on his first game that led to a goal; and then he was in the shadows for too long! it’s time for him to do something! it’s now or never! Max must develop him too!
And we have enough cover! Saelemaekers (for attacking games) and Tomori (for defensive games) also Musah!
