Atlético Madrid: Ambitious with No Limits, Fulfilling Dreams with Betway

Everything is evolving at Atlético Madrid, and the special partnership with Betway is growing stronger. The Spanish club, known for its passionate fan base, is drawing even more attention this season. Their popularity in the Arab world continues to rise season after season, driven by their impressive performances in recent years. This season, Atlético remains unbeaten after four rounds of La Liga, adding to their momentum.

The bond with Betway is deep and far-reaching. Beyond offering fans exclusive prizes delivered straight from the heart of the capital’s club, Atlético has also opened the doors of Civitas Metropolitano to Arab football fans. Lucky winners got the chance to step onto the same pitch as legends of the game, making dreams come true in one of Europe’s most iconic stadiums.

Active Summer

There’s no doubt that Atlético Madrid will be a team to watch this season, thanks to their busy summer transfer window, which saw a reshaping of their squad.

Los Rojiblancos started by parting ways with a few key players, including Dutch forward Memphis Depay, defender Mario Hermoso, and Brazilian Gabriel Paulista.

On the other side, the 11-time La Liga champions extended the contract of veteran defender César Azpilicueta, keeping the experienced Spaniard with the squad until 2025.

The transfer window truly heated up when Atlético made several notable signings. The most significant was the acquisition of Spanish international defender Robin Le Normand, who played a crucial role in Spain’s triumph at Euro 2024, joining from Real Sociedad.

The French-born defender was a key figure in Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad at Euro 2024 in Germany, playing in all the matches except for the semi-final against France, where he was suspended.

Le Normand, who was also targeted by other major clubs, was signed to replace Montenegrin international defender Stefan Savić, who departed for Turkish side Trabzonspor on a three-year deal.

Savić’s departure marks a significant change at Atlético, as the 33-year-old defender had been with the team since 2015, making nearly 300 appearances over nine seasons, winning La Liga in 2021, as well as the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup in 2018..

The Biggest and Most Important Deals

However, the transfer that stole global headlines and was hailed as one of the summer’s most significant signings was the arrival of Argentine international striker Julián Álvarez from Manchester City. Argentine coach Diego Simeone personally pushed for the move.

Álvarez, a World Cup and Copa América winner with Argentina, signed a six-year contract with Atlético, though the financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Spanish media reported that the fee was around €90 million, the most expensive transfer for the club this summer.

Known for his versatility across the attacking front, Álvarez joined Manchester City two years ago from River Plate for around $18 million. During his time at City, he was instrumental in Argentina’s international triumphs and contributed significantly to City’s back-to-back Premier League titles and their historic UEFA Champions League victory.

Álvarez netted 36 goals in 103 appearances across all competitions, but frequently found himself starting from the bench, largely due to the dominance of Norwegian goal machine Erling Haaland.

With Álvarez joining Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth and French star Antoine Griezmann, Atlético now boasts a formidable attacking trio. This comes despite the departure of Spanish captain Álvaro Morata, who joined AC Milan.

Atlético Madrid’s dynamic attack is set to thrill fans and Betway followers, who can watch Atlético Madrid’s matches in the Copa del Rey on our website, where there are unique opportunities to engage with their favorite club and win big.
