Atlético Madrid are reportedly targeting Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen as a key addition to strengthen their attack.
According to recent reports, Diego Simeone is planning a significant refresh of the team’s forward line, and the 27-year-old Nigerian striker—currently with Galatasaray—is seen as an ideal fit due to his physical strength, goalscoring ability, and aggressive style that aligns well with Simeone’s system.
With 52 caps for Nigeria, Osimhen has emerged as Atlético’s top priority for a potential summer move in August. The club believes a player of his quality is essential to compete for major honors.
Osimhen, whose contract with Galatasaray runs until 2029, has also drawn interest from Barcelona and several Premier League clubs.
Atlético fans are particularly excited about the prospect of reuniting him with compatriot Ademola Lookman, who joined the club in the recent winter transfer window. Pairing the two Nigerian internationals could create a formidable attacking duo and generate significant buzz both on and off the pitch at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
