Atlético de Madrid is in the race for the signing of Yasin Ayari, a Swedish midfielder from Brighton, who has become a market opportunity. The next signing for Atlético will be a midfielder.

As revealed by journalist Ekrem Konur on September 29, 2026, the red and white board has placed the Swedish international on their target list, having to compete directly with Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United, and AC Milan to secure his transfer in the winter window of 2027.

Yasin Ayari's Contractual Situation at Brighton and Transfer Figures

The 22-year-old midfielder signed for Brighton in January 2023 from AIK for 4 million euros, amassing 82 games, 7 goals, and 4 assists at the British side. His current contract expires in June 2027, but the English board will soon trigger a clause to extend the agreement until June 2028, securing his market value after turning down a 20 million pounds offer from Nottingham Forest in January 2026.

The English executives have priced the midfielder's exit starting at 40 million euros and could reach up to 60 million euros including variables and future sale percentages.

Atlético de Madrid's Scouting Reports in the Nations League

Scouts from Atlético de Madrid witnessed Sweden's recent games against Romania and Poland in the Nations League, matches where the player started, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist. With his national team, the midfielder has earned 27 caps and netted 6 goals.

The player's versatility to perform as a defensive midfielder or attacking midfielder aligns with the tactical demands of the coaching staff to revamp the midfield at Cívitas Metropolitano.

Mass Salary Factor and Negotiation with Brighton

The board of Atlético de Madrid is evaluating the financial impact of the operation before engaging in direct talks with the Swedish international's representatives. The English team's requirements force the Madrid club to consider transferring an asset in the winter window to balance the budget.

Atlético's executives see it as crucial to secure a staggered payment agreement to compete with Newcastle's financial capability in the Premier League. The club's sports analysts will continue to monitor the player during Premier League matches in October and November 2026.

If Brighton's board remains open to negotiation, Atlético de Madrid will present a significant offer to sign the Swedish midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
