Atletico de Madrid loans defender Jose Gimenez to Deportivo de A Coruna

Atletico de Madrid and Deportivo de A Coruna finalized a loan agreement for veteran center-back Jose Gimenez on Tuesday. The 31-year-old moves to the newly promoted club until June 2027 following 13 years with the Madrid side. While official statements did not confirm contract terms, reports indicate Gimenez will extend his Atletico deal by one year to facilitate the salary structure of the transfer. Gimenez joins a young Deportivo defensive unit featuring Lucas Noubi and Bright Ede to provide veteran experience. Atletico retains four primary central defenders, while promoting 22-year-old Dani Martínez to the first team squad. The defender is expected to face his former club during round 10 of the LaLiga season on October 25.
