Atletico Madrid Eyes Manchester City Winger Jeremy Doku for Summer Move

Atletico Madrid is anticipated to be highly active in the summer transfer market, with planning already well underway. Reinforcing the attacking line will be a priority, given the high likelihood of players such as Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth departing from the Metropolitano stadium.

A list of potential targets is being compiled, and football director Mateu Alemany has been tasked with refreshing Diego Simeone’s squad. He is closely monitoring several players, and one of them is Manchester City and Belgium winger Jeremy Doku.

Reportedly, Atletico is tracking Doku’s situation in Manchester. There is speculation that he could become available this summer if he fails to secure a regular starting spot under Pep Guardiola.

However, signing Doku would be almost impossible for Atletico if he agrees to a new contract with Manchester City before the summer transfer window opens in July. Negotiations between the player and the Premier League club (who recently suffered a defeat against Real Madrid) are already in progress, and the Citizens are hoping for a positive outcome before the end of the season.

Doku: A Potentially Exciting Acquisition for Atletico

Considering that Atletico already signed Ademola Lookman in January, questions might arise about Doku's necessity. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that he would be a top-class acquisition, especially if Simeone manages to instill greater consistency in his game, something that has occasionally been lacking during his time at Manchester City.

Atletico and Manchester City maintain a good relationship due to previous transfer dealings. This existing rapport could provide Los Colchoneros with an advantage, though it is important to note that current transfer chief Alemany was not involved in those agreements; those negotiations were handled by Andrea Berta, who is now working at Arsenal.
