Atlético Madrid are keeping a close watch on Victor Osimhen’s situation and could step up their pursuit of the Nigerian striker if Julián Álvarez departs the club this summer for barcelona, according to reports from beIN Sports Turkey.
The Spanish giants are evaluating several attacking options ahead of what is shaping up to be a busy transfer window. Any potential exit for Álvarez is expected to significantly influence Atlético’s plans, with the club reportedly seeking a fee exceeding €100 million for the Argentine forward.
Osimhen remains one of the most coveted strikers in European football, admired for his explosive pace, physical strength, aerial dominance and consistent goalscoring record at the highest level. The former Napoli star continues to attract interest from multiple top clubs across the continent.
Softfootball believes Atlético view Osimhen as a strong candidate to reinforce their attack and are prepared to increase their interest should Álvarez’s situation evolve in the coming months.
