Atlético continues to work to strengthen itself in the lead for the start of the League. Simeone has stayed with Luis Suárez as the only natural point in the squad, after Dembélé finalized his loan from Olympique de Lyon and he needs another striker to complete his team.
Rafa Mir is the most viable option, since as AS reported on July 11 the fluid relations with Wolverhampton, the complementary characteristics to Suárez and the economic aspirations of the English club, taking into account that Mir ends contract in 2022, they made their incorporation more accessible. But from Italy they point out that Atlético is in full attempt to get the pearl Dusan Vlahovic.
The 21-year-old Fiorentina forward marveled last season with his 21 goals in Serie A and he has plenty of suitors. But the middle Tuttomercatoweb has indicated that Atlético de Madrid is the team most interested in the Serbian and above all it is the club that, through intermediaries, has offered the amount closest to the requests of Fiorentina that amount to 70 million. Of course, for Atlético to be able to undertake an operation of such depth they would have to departures occur, with Saúl in the shop window.
As explained by the Italian media, Fiorentina have been working on Vlahovic's renewal for weeks, but such a juicy offer would make them rethink the sale. Tottenham, who are looking for substitutes for the possible departure of Harry Kane with Lautaro Martínez as the first option, and Inter, who have seen how Lukaku will set course for Chelsea and Lautaro could do it for Tottenham, they are the other two clubs that surround a forward with a huge future ahead of him.
