TRANSFER NEWS: Atlético Madrid Monitoring Osimhen as Potential Alvarez Replacement

Atlético Madrid have reportedly identified Victor Osimhen as a potential transfer target and could make a move for the Nigerian striker if Julian Alvarez departs the club this summer.

According to reports from beIN Sports Türkiye, the Spanish giants have already made enquiries about Osimhen’s situation as they prepare contingency plans in the event of Alvarez’s exit. Atlético are understood to be closely monitoring developments surrounding the prolific forward, who remains one of Europe’s most sought-after attackers.

The report adds that any deal would require a significant financial commitment, with the Turkish champions expected to demand a fee exceeding €100 million for the striker.

Osimhen enjoyed another impressive campaign in Turkey and continues to attract interest from several top clubs across Europe, setting the stage for what could become one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas should Atlético decide to formalise their interest.
