Atlético de Madrid have identified Ghana international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku as a potential transfer target as they look to strengthen an attack that has struggled in recent months.
The Spanish club are reportedly monitoring the Leicester City winger, who currently plays in England’s Championship, with a view to bolstering their options out wide.
Fatawu’s performances have drawn attention, and an offer worth around €24m is said to be in preparation as Atlético seek to convince Leicester to sell.
At just 21, Fatawu has built a reputation for his pace, direct running and ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations. His dynamic displays have made him one of the standout young players in the English second tier.
The Ghanaian international played a key role in Leicester City’s return to the Premier League, contributing with energetic performances on the flank.
His development has not gone unnoticed, with Atlético now considering him as part of their plans for the future.
Diego Simeone’s side are understood to be keen to refresh their attacking options after a period of inconsistency in front of goal.
By targeting emerging talent from outside Spain’s top flight, Atlético appear to be exploring alternative markets in an effort to add pace and creativity to their squad.
A move to the Spanish capital would represent a significant step up for Fatawu, offering him the opportunity to compete at the highest level of European football.
For Atlético, securing the services of a young and rapidly improving winger would underline their intention to inject new energy into their forward line ahead of next season.
While no agreement has yet been confirmed, the reported interest highlights Fatawu’s growing profile and Atlético’s determination to reshape their attacking unit in the coming months.
