The Uruguayan international has played the majority of his Atletico career as a centre-back. However, he has proven to be versatile, occasionally being deployed at right-back and as a defensive midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>Conceding just 25 goals last season, the fewest of any team in La Liga, Gimenez is a proven commodity under manager Diego Simeone. The Atletico manager is no stranger to boasting solid defensive records. In recent seasons they have either conceded the fewest or join-fewest in the league.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddfe El \ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2.<\/p>\n<p>\u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gim%C3%A9nez2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Gim\u00e9nez2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RL4yJ9PvN5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/RL4yJ9PvN5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0d\ud83c\udfc6 CAMPEONES \ud83c\udfc6\u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0d (@Atleti) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Atleti\/status\/1425895458677874701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite not being overly active during the window, this new contract will feel like a new signing for the club. A strong part of the title-winning team and long-term picture, there is a good chance Gimenez can contribute to another successful season for Atletico.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend, the 2021\/22 La Liga season begins. Atletico kick-off their campaign away to Celta Vigo on Sunday. They then play their first home game of the season, hosting Elche a week on Sunday.
