We have reached an agreement with the Andalusian club over the transfer of the Spanish player.
Atlético de Madrid and Real Betis have reached an agreement for the transfer of Rodrigo Riquelme.
The Madrid-born footballer joined our Academy in 2010 and was a member of the historic Juvenil A team that won the treble in the 2017/18 season. He fulfilled his dream on Sep. 1, 2019, when he made his first team debut in a match against Eibar at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. He spent the 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons on loan at AFC Bournemouth, Mirandés and Girona, respectively, before returning to our club in the summer of 2023. Over the last two seasons, he was part of our first team, playing 75 official matches, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. In addition, his performances with our club opened the door to the Spain senior national team, with which he made his debut in November 2023.
Atlético de Madrid would like to thank Rodrigo Riquelme for his dedication and effort during all these years at our club. We wish him the best of luck in his future personal and professional endeavours.
