Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Fábio Silva as the ideal candidate to take over Antoine Griezmann's attacking role in the squad.

The French star, at 34 years old, is seriously considering a lucrative offer from Orlando City to join Major League Soccer in the United States. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the contacts between the Florida franchise and the French forward's entourage are currently ongoing.

Despite his goal-scoring form in the Copa del Rey, the "Little Prince's" participation in the domestic league and in Europe has significantly decreased. Faced with this scenario, the sports management is seeking a young player with potential and knowledge of Spanish football to fill that sensitive void.

Atlético de Madrid's Strategy in Response to Their Star's Departure

Atlético de Madrid understands that the departure of their historic main reference requires an intelligent strategic move in the summer transfer market. The intention is to incorporate a player who can develop under Simeone's guidance and who has already proven his worth.

Fábio Silva, at just 23 years old, fits into this philosophy after his successful spell at Las Palmas, where he scored ten goals in twenty-four matches. That performance in the Canary Islands sparked interest from Borussia Dortmund, the club that spent over twenty-two million euros on his transfer.

However, the Portuguese international's time in the Bundesliga has not met expectations, with just one goal in seventeen official matches played. This lack of continuity in Germany opens a unique opportunity for Atlético de Madrid to pursue his immediate signing.

Fábio Silva's Fit in Diego Simeone's System

For Atlético de Madrid, reviving the best version of the Porto academy graduate is a challenge that greatly appeals to the red-and-white technical staff. His current market value is around twenty-eight million euros, a feasible amount if Griezmann's transfer to the United States materializes.

Nevertheless, the Madrid-based club will have to compete with Betis' interest, another team closely monitoring the situation of the Portuguese striker in Dortmund. The forward's contract with the German club runs until June 2030, requiring firm negotiations.

Atlético de Madrid is confident that the player's desire to return to Spain will be the deciding factor in their favor. The versatility of the Portuguese player would allow him to adapt to different roles in the attacking third, similar to what the talented French player did.

A Necessary Generational Change in the Colchonero's Attack

Griezmann's potential move to Orlando City would mark the end of a golden era for the fans gathered at the Metropolitano. Atlético de Madrid plans to soften this emotional impact by bringing in a promising talent who still has his best football years ahead of him.

The Frenchman's performance in the current Copa del Rey, with five goals in four games, proves that his technical quality remains unquestionable. However, the club prioritizes renewing its offensive pieces to maintain competitiveness in all competitions in the upcoming year.

Lastly, Atlético de Madrid aims to close this chapter before other European clubs enter the bidding war for the young Portuguese forward. The reconstruction of the attack hinges on finding a balance between the departing experience and the hunger for glory that would come.
