The website "Fichajes" confirmed that Spanish club Atlético Madrid refuses to let go of their young midfielder Pablo Barrios, despite the player receiving significant offers from major clubs such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

At 21 years old, Barrios is considered one of the key pillars in the Rojiblancos lineup, having proven himself as a complete midfielder who combines character, tactical awareness, and the ability to adapt to different playing styles, earning the trust of coach Diego Simeone and the club's fans.

According to the source, Atlético Madrid's management confirms that the player is officially not for sale, while acknowledging that the market could change any scenario if financial offers reach exceptional levels.
