Atletico Madrid linked with Palmeiras full-back Agustin Giay
The situation
Atletico Madrid are being linked with Agustin Giay, the Palmeiras right-back, though nothing here points to an active move with a window actually open. La Liga's next window does not start until 1 January 2027, and Giay is tied to Palmeiras until the end of 2030, so any deal would need the Spanish club to go in during that January period. The latest reports describe interest rather than talks, with Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli also mentioned as admirers, though no outlet ranks one club above the others.
The reporting
El Desmarque was carrying it by 1 November, crediting the information to a named reporter rather than breaking it themselves, and describing Atletico as attentive to a possible signing. CaughtOffside followed on 5 November with a similar line, naming Tottenham and Napoli as rivals for a player it values at €25m. Both outlets are repeating the same underlying claim rather than adding fresh detail, and no trusted reporter has backed any of it.
The outlook
With that sourcing, this sits closer to a long-odds punt than a deal taking shape. Nothing indicates a bid, a price Palmeiras want, or direct contact, just reported attentiveness from Atletico and competing interest from elsewhere. For it to move, Atletico would need to make their interest concrete with an actual approach once the window opens, and Palmeiras would need to be willing to sell a player only two years into his contract there.
The context
Giay is valued at €20m, a context worth keeping in mind given his boyhood move cost Palmeiras €7m from San Lorenzo in 2024.
What to watch
Watch for any club tabling a concrete offer once the January window opens, or a trusted reporter picking the story up with firmer detail.
