Atletico consider Osimhen as striker exit looms

Atletico Madrid are weighing a summer move for Nigeria star Victor Osimhen as they brace for a potential shake-up up front, with Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth both linked away.

Reports say Alvarez has admirers in England, while Sørloth is attracting interest from Turkey, Italy and Saudi Arabia—prompting Atletico to line up alternatives. Osimhen, now at Galatasaray, is said to be high on their list.

“He fits what we want in a No.9,” a source close to the club said. A Turkish report claims Galatasaray would demand around €140 million.

With Barcelona also monitoring Osimhen as a long-term Lewandowski successor, one analyst noted: “Atletico may need a major sale to make it happen.”
