The young forward made his stance crystal clear, leaving no room for speculation or future twists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will never play for Real Madrid, no chance, impossible,\u201d Simeone said firmly, underlining his unwavering loyalty. The statement, while admired by Atl\u00e9tico Madrid supporters, may not sit well with fans on the other side of the city divide.<\/p>\n<p>As the son of Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s iconic manager Diego Simeone, Giuliano\u2019s connection to the club runs far deeper than just professional ties. His words reflect not only personal preference but also a deep-rooted emotional bond with the red-and-white side of Madrid. For him, Atl\u00e9tico is more than just a team, it is family, identity, and legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Such direct comments are rare in modern football, where players often avoid closing doors on potential future moves. However, Simeone\u2019s declaration breaks that trend, reinforcing the fierce rivalry between the two Madrid giants. It also highlights the cultural divide that continues to define one of Europe\u2019s most intense football rivalries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giuliano Simeone has ignited fresh controversy in Spanish football after delivering a brutally honest statement regarding any potential move to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":45558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4651],"tags":[410,3686,1879,1823,4233,3919,2919,266],"class_list":["post-45557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga","tag-atletico-madrid","tag-david-ornstein","tag-diego-simeone","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-giuliano-simeone","tag-la-liga","tag-madrid-derby","tag-real-madrid"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45559,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45557\/revisions\/45559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
