Atlético de Madrid's Uruguayan defender, José María Giménez, has expressed his willingness to listen to the club's decisions about his future, despite having a contract until 2028.

The future of José María Giménez at Atlético de Madrid is uncertain. The Uruguayan center-back, whose contract expires in 2028, has publicly stated that he is open to hearing any proposals the club may present, although no formal discussions have taken place. "Whatever they decide, I will convey it," the footballer stated during a media appearance.
These statements come at a time of reflection for the player, who has had a season hampered by injuries. Giménez was only able to start 15 matches and play a total of 25, significantly lower figures than his usual performance. Last season prevented him from solidifying his place in the starting eleven, reducing his influence on the team.
At 31 years old, the Uruguayan international remains tied to the Rojiblanco club until 2028. However, rumors about a possible departure in the upcoming transfer window have intensified. The final decision on his continuity will depend on the stance taken by Atlético de Madrid's sporting management, which has not yet finalized potential squad exits.
