Atlético's General Shareholders' Meeting, held this Friday, has unanimously approved the capital increase of 181.8 million euros. From the entity, it was considered a point key to guarantee the continuity of the League champion block, as well as to undertake reinforcements for the staff, such as Rodrigo de Paul.
The crisis of the pandemic has severely affected the club's accounts, especially because it was not able to host the public at the Wanda Metropolitano. Atlético has lost about 80 million euros due to COVID and that is why this capital increase, approved today with all the votes in favor, has been carried out.
So this new situation underpins the nearest future of Atlético de Madrid. The cracks of the squad will follow the orders of Simeone, which will be renewed until 2024 soon, extending his contract for two more years. The renovation will also be carried out, with a significant improvement in its conditions, by Marcos Llorente when we have the information.
