According to Spanish media outlet Marca, contract extension negotiations between Marcos Llorente and Atlético Madrid are progressing positively. The Spanish international is one of four World Cup winners in the Atlético Madrid squad and remains a key player in both the club's plans and Simeone's tactical setup. Both parties are moving forward toward extending the deal.

Llorente's current contract expires in June 2027, and the club is keen to extend it further.

Since the start of last season, Atlético Madrid has been in contact with Julio Llorente, Marcos's uncle and agent, to push forward the contract extension.

Llorente's current deal was renewed in 2021, a time when he was instrumental in helping Atlético Madrid claim their second La Liga title under Simeone.

Over the past five years, Llorente's standing within the squad has grown consistently.

His importance has expanded both on the pitch and in the dressing room. In seven years since joining Atlético Madrid, he has gradually developed into a crucial team member. Last Sunday marked his official 300th appearance for the club in his career.

To commemorate this milestone, Atlético Madrid presented Llorente with a special commemorative shield, which was personally presented by club president Enrique Cerezo.

With Griezmann's departure, Llorente's position in Atlético Madrid's captain hierarchy has also been upgraded. He is currently the fourth captain. If the club can move Giménez before the transfer window closes, Llorente could even be promoted to third captain.

In fact, Llorente wore the captain's armband in several matches last season. Now, after more than seven years with Atlético Madrid, he has become a highly influential figure in the dressing room.

Possibly His Final Major Contract

For Llorente, this contract extension could be his final significant deal of his career.

Marca revealed that Llorente has previously stated he won't extend his career indefinitely. However, what is certain is that in the coming years of his career, he still hopes to continue playing in an Atlético Madrid shirt.

In recent years, Llorente has won La Liga with Atlético Madrid and also captured the World Cup with the Spanish national team.

Currently, he has one major dream remaining: helping Atlético Madrid win the Champions League.

As negotiations between both parties continue to progress, Llorente will have more time to chase this objective.

For Atlético Madrid, retaining such an experienced player with both strength and influence in the dressing room is undoubtedly a crucial part of the club's future plans.
