Atlético de Madrid finds itself at a crossroads in its search for a leading striker following the departures of Álvaro Morata and Memphis Depay. While the primary target was Artem Dovbyk, the top scorer in the league in his first year with Girona, negotiations with the Ukrainian forward and his agent have become complicated. Despite having reached a preliminary agreement with the Catalan team, economic differences and the lack of a compelling project have distanced Dovbyk from the red and white club. The forward and his representative are in advanced talks with Roma, casting doubt on his arrival at Atlético.

Alexander Sorloth:

With the Dovbyk option on hold, Atlético has started exploring other alternatives in the market. Among the names making the rounds is Alexander Sorloth, the Villarreal forward who finished second in the league's top scorers list, just one goal behind Dovbyk. 28-year-old Sorloth had a standout season with 26 goals in 41 appearances between Liga and Europa League. Although his €38 million release clause is similar to the offer for Dovbyk, his age and less impressive track record in previous seasons raise doubts.

Viktor Gyokeres:

Another attractive option is Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting de Portugal. The Swedish forward has had a spectacular performance with 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 matches since his arrival in 2023. However, his initial valuation close to €100 million makes his signing highly challenging for Atlético, unless they achieve a significant sale like that of João Félix.

Jonathan David:

Canadian forward Jonathan David from Lille is another option on Atlético's radar. With a contract until 2025 and no renewal in sight, this young Canadian striker has showcased his ability with 26 goals in the last two seasons. His non-EU status and growth potential make him an interesting bet for the red and white team.

Other Options:

Meanwhile, Simeone must also assess the inclusion of young talents like Samu Omorodion and Carlos Martín in his setups. With the need to incorporate two new forwards, Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial summer to strengthen its attack and stay competitive in the title race.
