Atlético Madrid are monitoring the situation of Nicolò Tresoldi, the Club Brugge striker, who has also been linked with a move to Barcelona.
According to the Spanish newspaper "AS", Julián Álvarez's complicated situation, combined with Alexander Sørloth's failure to convince Atlético, could push the Madrid club to move for the 22-year-old German striker.
Tresoldi has forced his way into the list of standout targets this season. He has become one of the most talked-about stars of the moment and a notable name on the transfer market.
Leading Brugge's attack, the German has scored in every match since the Belgian league campaign began.
His brilliance is no passing start, either. Tresoldi played a decisive role in Brugge's title triumph last season and topped the scoring charts with 19 goals.
At 21, then, he has become the goal man of one of Belgium's best clubs.
Transfermarkt value the German at 25 million euros, but Brugge will not sanction his departure for less than 45 million euros. He is tied to the Belgian club until June 2029.
