Spanish U21 international Samu Omorodion has caught the attention of top clubs this summer, including Napoli from Serie A. During his season-long loan at Alaves in the previous season, Omorodion made an impressive impact and scored eight goals in La Liga. Despite Atletico Madrid’s preference to keep him at the club, his future with Los Rojiblancos remains uncertain.
Atletico Madrid is reportedly open to negotiations for the 20-year-old striker, but they are holding out for a fee of €40m or more. However, the high asking price has reduced interest from Italian clubs, leaving Premier League side Chelsea as the only suitor so far. Chelsea has made an initial offer of €40m, which falls short of Atletico Madrid’s desired fee.
Despite their initial offer falling short of Atletico Madrid’s desired fee, talks between the two clubs are ongoing. It remains to be seen if Chelsea will be able to close the deal and acquire Omorodion this summer, or if he will remain with Atletico Madrid. Regardless of where he ends up, Omorodion is certain to have a bright future ahead of him on the pitch.
