Atletico Madrid sign Simeone's youngest son, Giuliano LaLiga The 17-year-old has left River Plate's youth setup

After seeing his older brother Giovanni achieve success in the sport, Diego Simeone's youngest son, Giuliano, has left River Plate's youth setup to sign for Atletico Madrid.

The youngest Simeone will immediately join up with Los Colchoneros' academy, with the 17-year-old having revealed his desire to leave Argentina due to a difficult social situation.

His departure caused discomfort within River Plate, and the Argentine club's board of directors have forced Los Rojiblancos to negotiate a fee rather than letting him leave for free.

The Simeone family could make a request based on parental rights, but River Plate have dismissed this possibility and are demanding training fees be paid in full.

Giovanni Simeone is currently playing for Cagliari in Serie A, whilst Gianluca Simeone is currently representing UD Ibiza.
