Atlético Madrid is already looking ahead to the next summer transfer window and has identified their primary target to lead the attack should Ángel Correa or Antoine Griezmann depart: Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward, currently a star player for Sporting CP, has reportedly become a major obsession for the Spanish club as they seek to strengthen their offensive line.
At 26 years old, Gyokeres has enjoyed a phenomenal season, boasting an impressive record of 52 goals in 48 appearances, making him one of the most sought-after players in European football. His market value has surged significantly. The Lisbon-based club is reportedly demanding at least €75 million for his transfer, although his release clause is set higher at €100 million. Atlético is currently assessing how to finance such a deal. Juventus is also reported to be interested in the prolific striker, particularly if Sporting would consider accepting a player as part of the deal.
