According to AS, Atletico Madrid wants to sign another striker and a winger to complete their squad for the 2026-27 season. The club has offered 35 million euros for Lille forward Matías Fernández-Pardo and is negotiating with Racing Santander for Jorge Salinas.
Atletico Madrid is still building its squad. With time remaining before the new season, they plan to sign two more players: a striker and a winger, which is Mateo Alemany's next goal. Once these two players are brought in, Atletico Madrid's squad will largely be complete. Additionally, Madrid is also negotiating with Racing Santander for Jorge Salinas.
The team currently needs a striker. Sørloth is currently injured, while Julián Álvarez is gradually integrating into the team's training rhythm. Simeone has placed Lookman in the central forward position, and in the last match against Marseille, he paired Lee Kang-in with the Nigerian player. Arnau Ortiz has been a pleasant surprise and will also be part of the Red and White squad this season. He is undoubtedly an additional signing.
However, the Mattress Makers still need another striker. It was revealed a few days ago that Atletico Madrid had made a 35 million euro offer for Matías Fernández-Pardo. This Lille forward is highly favored by Atletico Madrid's sports department. He can play as a pure center forward or as a winger, and his age of 21 is also a bonus. The next step is to see if Lille will accept Atletico Madrid's offer.
As AS previously reported, Osimhen is also one of the targets highly admired by the sports department. However, Atletico Madrid would only pursue this signing if Julián Álvarez ultimately leaves, which currently seems unlikely.
Atletico Madrid has lost Griezmann, Nico, and Almada in attack. The possibility of Nico returning to Atletico Madrid is almost zero. The Metropolitano stadium is unwilling to pay a high transfer fee for this player admired by Simeone. If Atletico Madrid wants him, they would have to pay 32 million euros, but the club does not intend to pay this amount. Another possibility is another season-long loan. Juventus will try to make a move for the Argentine player. Atletico Madrid is looking for a player to fill the void left by Nico.
The team also needs a winger for reinforcement. Giuliano has consistently occupied the right flank, while Lookman has played on the left. Atletico Madrid also has attacking players like Baena and Lee Kang-in, but they are not typical wingers. Simeone prefers the South Korean player closer to the opponent's penalty area, where his skills are more threatening. These players can provide the final pass for strikers, but Atletico Madrid is still looking for another player who can make a difference on the wing.
