Atlético Madrid
On 18 July 2019, with only one year left in his contract, Hermoso agreed to a five-year deal with Atlético Madrid for €25 million plus €4 million in add-ons; Espanyol also retained 20% of any future sale of the player, with half of the fee being paid to Real Madrid.[10] He made his league debut on 18 August, playing 28 minutes in the 1–0 home win against Getafe CF.[11]
