Giuliano Simeone

Giuliano Simeone is a confirmed forward in Argentina's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named in Lionel Scaloni's final 26. The Atlético de Madrid forward is 23 at kick-off and valued at around €40.00m, a former Argentina youth international who reached the 2025-26 Copa del Rey final as a runner-up.

Argentina were drawn in Group J, alongside Algeria, Austria and Jordan. They open against Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on 16 June, then face Austria at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on 22 June before meeting Jordan at the same ground on 27 June. Argentina reached the finals by winning CONMEBOL round-robin qualifying, qualifying on 25 March 2025.

A hard-running winger for Atletico Madrid and Argentina, and the son of manager Diego Simeone. He stands 1.74 m and is right-footed. This season he has played 2,099 minutes. At 23 he is part of Lionel Scaloni's plans for the 2026 group stage.

The Atlético de Madrid forward features on the Goal Rush card with 11 caps and 1 goal for Argentina, a hard-running wide forward who stretches defences and gets up and down the flank, the kind of energy Scaloni can call on from the bench or the start. Argentina are a Tier 1 side at £32m, among the top team picks for the tournament.
