In a flurry of transfer activity, Atletico Madrid have been making headlines with significant moves in the summer transfer window, with developments underscoring Atletico’s ambitious plans as they look to enhance their squad and make a strong impact in domestic and European competitions.
Julian Alvarez Set to Join Atletico Madrid
Julian Alvarez is on the brink of joining Atletico Madrid in a high-profile transfer from Manchester City. The initial deal is valued at €75 million (£64 million), with potential performance-based add-ons pushing the total to €95 million (£81 million).
Alvarez's move comes just two-and-a-half years after his arrival at City from River Plate, driven by his desire for increased playing time. Despite City’s efforts to keep the talented striker, Alvarez is drawn to Atletico by the prospect of a more prominent role under Diego Simeone. Atletico's recent interest in the World Cup winner Alvarez intensified, even contemplating including Joao Felix as part of the negotiation to finalise the transfer.
Conor Gallagher in Line to Become a Rojiblanco Ace
Atletico Madrid are also making waves in the transfer market by pursuing Chelsea's Conor Gallagher, with a £33.7 million move reportedly in the works. Gallagher, a Chelsea academy product, is set to sign a five-year contract with Atletico after being informed he may not feature prominently under new Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca.
The acquisition of Gallagher would bolster Atletico’s midfield as they look to strengthen their squad following the anticipated arrival of Alvarez.
Additionally, the club may consider parting with young forward Samu Omorodion, who is garnering interest from several top European clubs, further shaping Atletico's busy transfer window.
