Atletico Madrid, Victor Osimhen, Julian Alvarez
2 June 2026
Atletico Madrid are reportedly monitoring Victor Osimhen as protection in case Julian Alvarez leaves this summer. Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are all linked with Alvarez despite Atletico insisting he remains central to their project.
The Osimhen interest reflects Atletico’s need to prepare for possible attacking upheaval, with Antoine Griezmann also leaving. Galatasaray would demand a large fee after signing the striker permanently and watching him drive another title season.
