The principle of the agreement between Atlético and Vermeeren | Relief
Vermeeren’s signing to Atlético Madrid is imminent. After the meeting in the last few hours, there was very good harmony between the clubs and even the Belgian midfielder was present at the Civitas Metropolitano to watch the match against Sevilla live. The operation may close in the next 24 hours.
The agreement will be concluded for approximately 22 million fixed euros plus another five in variables.. All he has to do is undergo a medical examination and the clubs will announce a final agreement.
The 18-year-old will now be under the captaincy of ‘Cholo’ Simeone after impressing in Antwerp this season. Atlético began offering about 15 million eurosbut at the insistence of the Belgian team he achieved a higher figure.
The young Belgian’s contract expired in 2026 and was in the orbit of several European clubs. It is not surprising that, despite his youth, he played in the group stage of the Champions League, where he performed at a high level. In fact, he was in the Barcelona group. He is an A and his ideal position is as a holding player, although he also performs well as an inside player.
In this way, Atlético Madrid closes one of its priorities in the winter market and the need for “5” is resolved. Meanwhile, he has already secured the arrival of Moldova to replace Jan Oblak and closed the transfer of Javi Galan to Real Sociedad.. The possibility remains open that Soyuncu or Correa will also pack their bags.
