Atlético de Madrid is preparing a summer revolution, and at the top of their wish list is a name that excites the fans: Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish forward, who is shining this season with Sporting de Portugal, has become the number one target to strengthen the attack of the team led by Diego Simeone.

The Madrid club is in a strong financial position after sealing an extension of their contract with Nike until 2035. This new agreement, which according to various sources would bring in about 30 million annually to the Metropolitano's coffers, nearly doubles the previous income and opens the door to ambitious investments.

Gyokeres, Simeone's Great Desire

As reported by the newspaper Sport, with possible departures of key players such as Antoine Griezmann, Ángel Correa, and even Julián Álvarez, Atlético is planning a significant move, and Gyökeres fits perfectly into that profile: powerful, fast, with a scoring touch, and room for growth. His price will not be low. Sporting has valued its star at around 75 million euros, although the total cost of the operation could rise to 100 million with variables.

The Madrid club knows that they will not be the only ones in the bidding war, but they trust in their economic strength and the attractiveness of their sporting project to convince the Scandinavian forward. The wheels are already in motion, and barring an unexpected turn, Gyökeres will be a key player in Atlético's summer transfer market.
