Atletico Madrid has set its sights on Corentin Tolisso as a possible replacement for Rodrigo de Paul, amid uncertainty about the Argentine's future at the Metropolitano. The Atletico sporting management is already considering options to cover the potential departure of one of their key midfielders, and the name of the Olympique Lyon player appears as one of the alternatives that most convince the coaching staff and the board. Tolisso, 30, is under contract with the French club until 2027, and his release clause would be around 10 million euros, a manageable figure for the mattress makers.
Corentin Tolisso, in Atletico Madrid's sights
The French midfielder is coming off an impressive season in Ligue 1, where he scored 10 goals and provided 9 assists in 46 matches across all competitions, confirming his ability to get into the opponent's area and create danger. Moreover, his versatility is highly valued at Atletico: he can play in a double pivot or in more offensive positions in midfield, and even act as a creative central midfielder when needed by the team.
The Metropolitano club believes his profile would fit well as a complement in the rotation, especially to provide rest or alternatives for Pablo Barrios and Johnny Cardoso, the new signing that the rojiblancos secured this summer. Although Tolisso is also on the radar of other clubs like Milan and Manchester United, Atletico could take the lead if the deal for De Paul goes through. For now, the Madrid club remains vigilant, monitoring how the market evolves and the situation of their Argentine player to decide whether to make an offer for the Frenchman.
