Atletico Madrid is already planning for the upcoming summer transfer window and has a clear idea of who should lead their frontline if Ángel Correa or Antoine Griezmann end up leaving: Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward, currently a star at Sporting de Portugal, has become Atletico's top priority to strengthen their attack.

At 26 years old and with a superb performance this season (52 goals in 48 matches), Gyokeres has become one of the most sought-after footballers in Europe. His value has skyrocketed, with the Lisbon club demanding at least 75 million euros to let him go, although his release clause is set at 100 million. An amount that Atletico is already studying how to manage.

A significant financial boost to secure this signing

From the Atletico's sporting management, led by Severiano García, the initial step has been taken, and formal contacts have been made with the player's representatives. The deal, though complex due to its high cost, seems feasible thanks to the recent agreement with Nike. The American multinational has extended its relationship with the club until 2035 and is open to participating financially in the transfer to ensure that one of its main ambassadors does not end up wearing a rival brand.

Competition will be tough: Arsenal, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich are also on the lookout. However, Atletico is confident that its project, combined with support from their technical sponsor, can tip the scales in their favor. Gyokeres is the top target at the Metropolitano.
