Atlético de Madrid plans to make a statement in the next transfer market by signing a top-level striker. The possible departure of Antoine Griezmann to the MLS at the end of the season forces the club to seek a reliable replacement. The club's board is working on the signing of a forward who not only fills the void left by the Frenchman but also forms a high-impact partnership with Julián Álvarez. Three names stand out on the list of candidates: Lautaro Martínez, Alexander Isak, and Ademola Lookman.

Lautaro Martínez, Simeone's Grand Dream

Diego Simeone's grand dream is to sign Lautaro, with whom he aims to build a formidable Argentine attacking duo. However, his signing is the most challenging as the striker is the main figure at Inter Milan, under contract until 2029, with a price tag around 100 million euros. His performance this season backs his value, with 15 goals and six assists so far.

Isak and Lookman, Plan B Options

Another option is Alexander Isak, the current top scorer at Newcastle. The Swedish forward has showcased his quality in the Premier League, scoring 19 goals in 28 games. His signing would not be straightforward either, given his valuation similar to Lautaro's, and the English club's reluctance to let him go easily.

The most accessible option is Ademola Lookman, a winger from Atalanta, who has shined with 14 goals and seven assists this season. His contract ends in 2026, potentially easing his departure for a lesser amount compared to the other candidates.

Atlético is already working on their next major investment, aiming to strengthen their attack with an impactful signing in the summer.
