Atletico Madrid could be on the lookout for a new striker in the summer, with Antoine Griezmann possibly leaving for MLS. In preparation for this, a shortlist appears to have been drawn up by the club’s sporting department, with names now beginning to emerge.
Not just Griezmann, Angel Correa could also be on the move as he was heavily linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia last summer, and there is a chance this interest could be rediscovered in the summer build-up. Regardless, Atleti officials are preparing for the possibility of the striker leaving.
According to Marca, a player who is on Atleti’s radar is Fabio Silva. The 22-year-old has impressed since joining Las Palmas on a season-long loan, with six goals and two assists in 16 La Liga appearances, two of those strikes coming against Barcelona and Real Madrid. According to the report, Los Colchoneros officials see Silva as a perfect fit for Diego Simeone’s playing style, with his characteristics very suitable.
Silva is on loan at Las Palmas from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers, who would likely be open to parting ways with the Portuguese marksman permanently. However, it is not yet known what its sale price would be.
Silva has looked comfortable at Las Palmas after previous poor loan spells at Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Rangers. A few months ago, he commented that La Liga has been his favorite league he has played in so far in his career, and given his performances, it is clear to see that this is the case.
It remains to be seen if Atleti make a move for Silva in the summer. They are currently lining up Villarreal playmaker Alex Baena as their top transfer target, but money could be left for a deal with Wolves.
