Of course, it is not a priority for Atlético de Madrid to strengthen the forward line, as they have four strikers who are showing great form. Alexander Sorloth, despite not being a regular starter, is the top scorer in LaLiga, having scored six goals coming off the bench in the second half. Additionally, Julián Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann continue their trend of finding the net easily, while Ángel Correa has been decisive in very important matches.
Meanwhile, despite the possibility of unexpected moves in the colchonero team, at the Metropolitano they are keeping an eye on Gyökeres. The Swedish international, who scored 34 goals this season, is set to make the definitive leap in his career this summer, leaving Sporting de Portugal after years of great performance. It won't be an easy operation, although the sports management could earn a considerable amount thanks to the sale of another footballer.
Extra Income for Atlético de Madrid
The name Gyökeres was already on the radar of the rojiblanco team last year, when they were looking for a scorer to replace Álvaro Morata and Memphis Depay. Both players had no place in Simeone's plans, and the Argentine was demanding a forward who was effective in front of goal. Artem Dobvyk was the favorite, but the Swede was also on the list, as revealed in Portugal, although his price was too high at that time.

Now, there would be an agreement between the footballer and Sporting de Portugal to facilitate his departure at the end of this season for about 75 million. It may seem like a high amount, but at Atlético de Madrid they aim to earn significant money from the sale of Samu Aghehowa, who is on Aston Villa's radar. Last winter market, the English team sold Jhon Durán to Al Nassr for almost 80 million euros after signing him from the American MLS.
50% of Samu Aghehowa
The Spanish international left for Oporto last year in exchange for 15 million euros, although the colchoneros retained half of his sporting rights. This way, they will earn half of any sale that the Portuguese team might make with the forward, having a release clause of 100 million euros. Aston Villa could put a significant amount on the table to convince Oporto to sell him below his release price.
Additionally, Samu Aghehowa's 2025 is not being as spectacular as in the first months of the season, when he was able to debut with Spain's senior national team. Despite that drop, he has scored 18 goals in 30 matches played, being a footballer with a lot of room for growth at only 20 years of age. Everything points to him being one of the standout names next summer, potentially leaving an important gift at the Metropolitano.
