The Giuliano Simeone story

Early life

Born in Rome when his father, Diego Simeone, was playing for Lazio, Simeone returned to Argentina to live with his mother at the age of four, and began his career with River Plate. In September 2019, he moved to Atlético Madrid's youth categories; as he had not signed a professional contract with River, the club was unable to retain him, and the move was later approved by FIFA. He then joined the Juvenil squad that same year.

Club career

Atlético Madrid B

Simeone made his senior debut with Atleti's B-team on 17 January 2021, starting and scoring the opener in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against UD Poblense. He scored three further goals in the season, but his team suffered relegation.

After spending the 2021 pre-season with the first team, Simeone returned to the B's now in Tercera División RFEF, scoring eight goals in 11 matches between the months of November and December.

He debuted with the senior Atlético Madrid side in a 0–0 La Liga tie with Granada on 20 April 2022, coming on as a sub in the 91st minute.

Loans to Real Zaragoza and Alavés

On 4 July 2022, Simeone was loaned to Segunda División side Real Zaragoza for the season. He scored his first professional goal two months later, netting the opener in a 2–1 home loss against CD Lugo.

On 21 July 2023, Simeone renewed his contract with Atleti until 2028, and subsequently moved on loan to Deportivo Alavés in the top tier, for one year. On 6 August, during a pre-season friendly against Burgos CF, he broke his fibula and also suffered an ankle injury after a tackle from José Joaquín Matos.

Return to Atlético Madrid

In July 2024, Simeone returned to his parent club, Atlético Madrid, ahead of the 2024–25 season. On 3 November, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Las Palmas. On 29 January 2025, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal and provided an assist in a 4–1 away win over RB Salzburg.

On 15 January 2026, Simeone extended his contract with Atlético Madrid until 30 June 2030.

International career

On 19 November 2024, Simeone debuted for Argentina against Peru in a 2026 FIFA World cup qualification. In doing so, he became the second son of Diego Simeone to play for Argentina after Giovanni Simeone. On 25 March 2025, Simeone scored his first goal for Argentina in a 4–1 victory in the same competition against Brazil.

On 27 May 2026, Simeone was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by manager Lionel Scaloni. He started his first World Cup game in a 3–1 group stage win over Jordan a month later on 27 June. Regarding Argentina's meager attacking chances in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, Simeone was the second most influential Argentine player in creating and executing them, behind Lionel Messi.

Personal life

Simeone is the son of his current manager at Atlético Madrid, Diego. His brothers Giovanni and Gianluca were also footballers, with the former having also played for Argentina internationally, and the latter retiring in 2025.
