The 'Fichajes' website revealed that Atletico Madrid has begun the search for a replacement for star Antoine Griezmann, who will be leaving for Orlando City at the end of the season.

The club needs an attacking player capable of linking the midfield and attack alongside Julian Alvarez.

The management is preparing to compensate for Griezmann's absence with well-studied deals, benefiting from potential sales like Alex Baena and Thiago Almada, to ensure financial capability to contract a strong element. The club is looking for a player who can both create and score goals simultaneously.

Among the candidates, Julio Enciso from Strasbourg stands out, having scored 9 goals and provided 3 assists in 30 matches, making him a suitable option both technically and economically.

Atletico is also monitoring the situation of Ibrahim Maza from Bayer Leverkusen, who scored 4 goals and made 5 assists, combining youthful potential with tactical flexibility.

Lee Kang-in is also a ready option, with his previous experience in the Spanish league and his ability to quickly adapt to the team.

The report confirmed that Atletico Madrid is seeking to complete the deal as soon as possible before other European clubs enter the negotiation line, to ensure the maintenance of offensive balance and continuity of competitiveness in the next season.
