Atletico Madrid is already preparing for possible movements in its offensive area ahead of the next transfer window. With the almost certain departure of Angel Correa and the likely exit of Rodrigo Riquelme, the red and white club plans to strengthen its attack with a profile that brings commitment, technique, and energy on both sides of the field. In this context, one of the names that has gained strength at the Metropolitano offices is that of Fábio Silva.

The Portuguese forward, owned by Wolverhampton, has stood out this season during his loan spell at UD Las Palmas, where his performance has not gone unnoticed. Despite the relegation of the Canarian team, Silva left very good impressions until an injury truncated his final stretch of the season. At 22 years old, he has shown tactical maturity, sacrificing capacity, and a notable defensive involvement, characteristics highly valued by Simeone in an attacker.

The Portuguese wants to stay in Spain

With a contract until 2026, Wolverhampton is looking for a definitive solution for the player's future, who prioritizes continuing in LaLiga and sees the Atlético project with good eyes, as reported by the newspaper AS. His desire to keep competing at the highest European level, combined with the interest of Atletico, could accelerate his arrival in the Spanish capital.

Correa's departure would open the door to an addition of this profile, and Fábio Silva seems to fit perfectly into what the Argentine coach is looking for: a committed, hardworking forward with quality and future vision.
