Douvikas on Atlético's agenda

Atlético de Madrid has on its agenda Anastasios Douvikas, a Greek center forward from Como 1907, as a candidate to strengthen its offensive rotation for the upcoming transfer markets. The main objective of the Atlético signing is a number nine who can fill Sorloth's role.

Diego Pablo Simeone considers the Greek international as the ideal profile to fill the vacancy that will be left by the imminent departure of Alexander Sorloth, backed by his current status as the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League and his previous proven experience in Spanish football.

The scoring impact of Anastasios Douvikas with Fàbregas at Como 1907

The forward's performance in Italian football has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations: he has accumulated 11 goals and 2 assists in 14 official matches this season 2026-2027. In Serie A, he has 5 goals in 10 appearances, but his greatest explosion has occurred on the continental stage, where he leads the Champions League scoring table with 6 goals in just 4 matches.

His most devastating performance came in the historic victory of 1-9 away against RC Lens, a match in which he scored a hat-trick and provided an assist, demonstrating a decisiveness in the final third that has caught the attention of the technical staff at the Metropolitano. Simeone primarily values his physical power, his aggressiveness in attacking open spaces, and a self-sufficient associative play suitable for alternating with players like Julián Álvarez and Jonathan David.

The economic valuation, his past at Celta, and the contract until 2031

Douvikas' knowledge of LaLiga is another key factor in the evaluation by the Madrid club; during his time at Celta de Vigo, the Greek forward recorded 18 goals and 4 assists in 58 matches, adapting naturally to the rhythms and defensive demands of Spanish football before moving to Italy.

Como 1907 signed him in the summer of 2025 for 14 million euros, securing the player with a long-term contract that expires on June 30, 2031. With a current market value of 25 million euros according to Transfermarkt, the Italian club's management is not under pressure to sell, which will require Atlético's sports commission to prepare a convincing financial proposal once the salary cap is freed and Sorloth's spot in the squad is available.

The sports management led by Andrea Berta will intensify contacts with the player's environment and the Italian management throughout December 2026. If formal discussions advance under acceptable conditions, Atlético de Madrid will attempt to finalize the transfer of Anastasios Douvikas in the early stages of the January 2027 transfer market.
