Igor Jesus, new target of Atletico Madrid for the summer

The European transfer board has started to move forcefully at the beginning of 2026, placing Atlético de Madrid at the center of all attention. The Atlético's sporting direction works intensely in the search for a new offensive reference due to the possible departure of Alexander Sorloth. The intention of the Madrid team is to incorporate a player who combines youth, physical power, and goal-scoring instinct to strengthen its sports project. In this scenario, the name of Igor Jesús has emerged with unusual strength in the offices of the Metropolitano. The Brazilian forward, currently playing for Nottingham Forest, has become one of the sensations of the Premier League. His ability to create plays on his own and dominate the penalty area has sparked the interest of Diego Pablo Simeone. **The Atlético de Madrid and its strategy to seduce Forest** The technical secretariat of the rojiblanco club positively values the self-sufficiency shown by the South American attacker in each round of the English championship. At 24 years old, he possesses a dominant physique that would fit perfectly with the Argentine coach's philosophy of effort. Atlético de Madrid closely monitors the player's contract situation, who is tied to the British entity until the summer of 2029. However, internal movements at City Ground could facilitate a friendly negotiation during the upcoming summer window. During the current season, Igor Jesús has scored nine goals and provided an assist in twenty-nine official appearances with the "Tricky Trees" shirt. **The arrival of Mateta as a key for Igor Jesús' departure** Nottingham Forest would not frown upon a million-pound sale if they manage to secure the signing of Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Forest board has tabled an offer of 35 million pounds for the French forward from Crystal Palace. Although personal conditions with Mateta are not an obstacle, Palace demands reaching 40 million to part ways with their star. This twist in the English market would clear the way for Igor Jesús to head to the Spanish capital. The abundance of forwards in Nuno Espírito Santo's squad forces the English club to seek lucrative exits to balance their books. Atlético de Madrid appears as the ideal destination for a player seeking to make the definitive leap to a big club.
