Diego Simeone’s men are on the waiting list for the sensational striker in Germany
Newcastle seems the best positioned to take him in the January market
Serhou Guirassy is having a fantastic start to the season. The Stuttgart striker broke all records with 16 goals in 10 games that he has been carrying this season, winning ‘girlfriends’ in several of the big clubs in Europe that want to get him out of the Bundesliga.
His second year at Stuttgart is being the best in terms of numbers. The Guinean has positioned himself as one of the ‘killers’ of European football and, according to the newspaper ‘Bild’, Atlético de Madrid joined the bid for him to bring him to LaLiga EA Sports.
Diego Pablo Simeone would welcome the arrival of another striker, especially if Memphis Depay does not return to the team after his injury with the same level of his teammates on offense. Griezmann and Morata are Atlético’s stars, but they do not have rotation in their position. Ángel Correa has been the only one who has also acted as a forward due to the Dutchman’s injuries.
At 27 years old, Guirassy has a termination clause of 20 million euros, which indicates that his signing is affordable. Newcastle and Tottenham had been the two clubs that have shown the most interestbut now the aforementioned German media put Atlético in said bid.
Saudi Arabia was also linked to Guirassy’s future, but the striker himself, formerly of Cologne and Rennes, ruled out going to the Arab market in January.
