Atlético de Madrid have just finished the summer transfer market and are already thinking about the next one, as there are still some unfinished positions. Despite the arrival of Alexander Sørloth and Julián Álvarez , given the doubts regarding Antoine Griezmann , one of them is the attack. There are players who convince and it attracts the attention of Diego Pablo Simeone 's team and the sports management led by Andrea Berta .
One of them was attempted to be brought in this summer, although the demands of his club were very high, which is why the operation was aborted. According to sources close to the operation confirmed to EstoesAtleti , the club has not forgotten about Jonathan David . It has not done so, since his contract with LOSC Lille ends on 30/06/2025 and he is a player that interests the colchoneros.
There have been talks with his entourage to find out his availability, and the player would love to join Madrid . Atlético they are aware that it will not be easy if he decides to leave as a free agent. There are many destinations that could offer him more money than the Colchoneros, but they have not lost hope of being able to convince the Canadian.
PSG the most dangerous rival
Juventus tried this summer and received the same response as the red-and-whites: the goalscorer was valued at 50 million euros . The Bianconeri are not giving up on the summer either; he is a player that the Italians like to have in their plans. The Premier League and PSG are the other big obstacles for Atlético Madrid, the Parisians are the toughest rival .
Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has a special fondness for the 24-year-old striker; he is considered a unique market opportunity. The intention is to leave him tied up for the next summer market, without ruling out the possibility of going for him in winter. There are several profiles that are observed, in view of a possible departure of Antoine Griezmann or even Ángel Correa .
Correa does not rule out anything
The Argentine striker remains very important for the project, but he is clear that if a good offer comes, he will listen to it. Not for nothing, but because he understands that he already deserves to play as a starter and he does not mind changing challenges. He has already given practically everything to Atlético de Madrid ; it is a feeling of infinite gratitude that he feels for the red-and-white club.
The Frenchman, for his part, is considering the option of the United States without being completely convinced; even Diego Simeone is thinking of other alternatives for him. The main one is to change his position, move him up to the inside position and sign another striker there. That would be Jonathan David , who is the one who is gaining the most points at the moment in the club's aspirations.
There is a sporting reason for bringing him up from midfield: first, to prevent him from wearing himself out too much, since at 33 years of age he needs more care. If he can be looked after, we will be able to squeeze the last drop out of the club's all-time top scorer. Diego Simeone is clear about this: he wants him to stay beyond 2025, everything depends on Antoine Griezmann .
