Enzo Millot Set to Join Atlético Madrid as Personal Terms Agreed

Enzo Millot is close to becoming an Atlético Madrid player. He has agreed personal terms. Negotiations are ongoing between the Spanish club and VfB Stuttgart to finalize a fee below €23 million.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Millot, the 23-year-old French midfielder, has agreed to join Atlético Madrid. He had a standout season at VfB Stuttgart, where he featured in 43 matches, scoring 12 goals and providing 8 assists in the 2024-25 campaign. This made him one of Stuttgart’s most influential players. With personal terms reportedly settled until June 2030, Atlético is now negotiating with Stuttgart for a figure around €20 million, which aligns with his contract’s release clause. Millot’s absence from Stuttgart’s recent friendly signals an expected departure, with Atlético leading the race despite interest from other clubs.

THE SITUATION FOR STUTTGART AND ATLÉTICO MADRID

Stuttgart finished the Bundesliga season in 7th place, narrowly missing out on European qualification. They face losing one of their key performers just as the new German league campaign is set to begin. Atlético Madrid, meanwhile, ended the last LaLiga season in 3th place, trailing champions Barcelona and Real Madrid but securing a Champions League berth. Diego Simeone’s side struggled at times for creativity and goals from midfield, thus, Millot’s arrival is seen as a significant boost. Atlético will hope Millot’s attacking energy adds a new dimension to their play as they prepare for important domestic and European fixtures.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Final details between Atlético and Stuttgart must be agreed before Millot can make his move official. If the transfer is completed this week, Millot could debut in Atlético Madrid’s opening LaLiga fixture on August 9, where they will face Espanyol. Stuttgart will need to quickly fill the gap left by their French midfielder before their Bundesliga opener against Union Berlin, and after their German Supercup match against Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich. Both clubs’ transfer strategies could shift in the final days of July as the deal concludes.
