Atlético Madrid are actively engaged in the transfer market as they seek to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season. After negotiations for Girona striker Artem Dovbyk fell through, the club has turned its attention to Villarreal's Alexander Sørloth. Sources indicate that talks are underway, with Atlético hoping to secure the services of the prolific forward.
Meanwhile, discussions with Chelsea for midfielder Conor Gallagher are progressing positively. Manager Diego Simeone is keen on adding a midfielder to the team, and Gallagher's profile is deemed appealing. However, Chelsea's valuation of the player at €40 million presents a hurdle that Atlético must navigate.
Another player on Atlético's radar is Manchester City striker Julián Álvarez, who is eager for more playing time. While Álvarez has expressed his desire to make a decision post the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Atlético faces competition from other clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, in pursuit of the talented forward.
Despite the complexities of the transfer market, Atlético remains optimistic about securing key additions to their squad. The club is prepared to exercise patience and prudence in negotiations, with a resolution not expected until at least mid-August.
