The Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo revealed that Atletico Madrid has already started planning for the next season, in light of the potential for significant changes in its ranks, foremost among them the future of the French star Antoine Griezmann, whose name is linked with a move to the American league in the coming period.

The newspaper explained that the Madrid club's management has several names on its table in anticipation of Griezmann's departure, among them the Portuguese forward Fabio Silva, a player for Borussia Dortmund, who still holds interest within Atletico's corridors.

According to the report, the Portuguese player is considered one of the elements the management has been following for a while, due to his technical abilities and young age, making him a suitable option within the plan to strengthen the forward line if the French star's departure is confirmed during the upcoming summer transfer window.

This move comes as part of Atletico Madrid's efforts to secure ready alternatives before entering the transfer market, especially since the matter of Griezmann's departure remains tied to his final decision, prompting the club to act early to avoid any potential offensive void.
