Atlético Madrid target Victor Osimhen to replace Julián Alonso

Atlético Madrid are prioritizing Victor Osimhen as their main target to replace Julián Alonso. The club values Osimhen at €75 million with a €15 million annual salary. Manchester United are also monitoring the Napoli striker.

Cholo Simeone will not have Antoine Griezmann for the 2024-25 season after the Frenchman joins MLS side Inter Miami. Julián Alonso’s future remains uncertain amid daily transfer speculation.

Osimhen scored 31 goals in Serie A and 10 in the Champions League last season. He has three years remaining on his contract with Napoli but a release clause could trigger interest.

Atlético Madrid’s attacking options are under review with both Griezmann and Alonso set to leave. Osimhen would join rising striker Memphis Depay at the Metropolitano if a deal is finalized.

Negotiations are expected to intensify this summer with Osimhen’s €15 million wage a key factor. Atlético Madrid are prepared to meet financial demands to secure the Nigerian international.
