Atletico Madrid Considers Signing Ismaila Sibiari
Friday 02-01-2026
The sports management of Atletico Madrid has started its early moves in preparation for the upcoming summer transfer window, as part of its efforts to strengthen the attacking side and playmaking within the team. The Moroccan playmaker Ismaila Sibiari, star of the Dutch club Eindhoven, has been placed among its priorities, according to the website "Fichajes."

According to the same source, Atletico Madrid's interest comes due to the need for a player capable of reaching the goal and fulfilling multiple attacking roles, qualities that Sibiari has notably demonstrated this season with his team. This has made him one of the most prominent rising names on the European scene despite his young age of 24 years.

The site pointed out that coach Diego Simeone is looking for elements capable of making a difference either from the playmaker position or through the flanks, which is exactly what the Moroccan midfielder excels at and is currently attracting attention with his performance, coinciding with his participation with his national team in the Africa Cup of Nations competitions.

The report explained that Atletico Madrid sees Sibiari as a qualitative addition capable of raising the level of competition within the squad, especially given his impressive statistics this season, having scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists in 23 official matches, in addition to his brilliance in the Champions League.

The website added that the deal will not be easy due to the player's contract with Eindhoven extending until summer 2029 and his high market value. However, Atletico Madrid plans to start official moves after the player's continental participation ends, relying on its sports project and the player's potential desire to move to the Spanish league.

The report confirmed that Atletico Madrid places Sibiari among its future bets to strengthen the attacking line, given the club's conviction of the importance of seizing rising talents at the right time to maintain its competitive ability locally and continentally.
