Premier League giants chase €60m La Liga defender Marc Pubill

Atletico Madrid defender Marc Pubill, 23, has been linked with a move away, with a price tag that could reach €60 million. According to Fussball News.De, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are monitoring the Spanish defender, whose long‑term contract runs to 2030.

Arsenal made concrete enquiries last summer, but Atletico Madrid were unwilling to let Pubill leave. The Gunners, already well stocked in defence, would find little sense in adding another centre‑back.

Manchester United and Liverpool, by contrast, could use more depth in their back lines. The 23‑year‑old utility man would offer both clubs regular opportunities and a versatile option.

English clubs weigh up options

Chelsea are also monitoring Pubill, and the English clubs possess the financial muscle to meet the €60 million asking price. Whether they are prepared to meet Atletico’s valuation remains uncertain.

Pubill can operate as a central defender or as a right‑back, a flexibility that appeals to Premier League managers seeking adaptable defenders.

He was seen warming up at Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on 29 June 2026, showcasing his fitness ahead of the summer window.

Pubill greeted fans after Spain’s friendly against Peru at Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla, Mexico, on 8 June 2026, adding a touch of international exposure.

La Liga side Atletico Madrid have secured Pubill on a contract until 2030 and are under no pressure to sell cheaply, making a mid‑season departure unlikely.

If a summer move materialises, Pubill could embrace a new challenge in the Premier League, while Atletico would retain a valuable defensive asset until the transfer window opens.
