Atletico Madrid line up €60 million move for Jeremy Doku

Atletico Madrid will reportedly look to sign 39-cap Belgian international Jeremy Doku from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Jeremy Doku is the subject of interest from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on bolstering their offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 23-year-old Manchester City winger has emerged as a target for Los Rojiblancos.

The latest report has revealed that Atletico Madrid will aim to secure the youngster’s signature by submitting a bid worth €60 million in the summer transfer window. The Colchoneros have also expressed interest in Doku, and they hope to land the Borgerhout native in the coming months.

How has Jeremy Doku fared at Manchester City?

Jeremy Doku has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Manchester City from Stade Rennais in August 2023. Born in Borgerhout, the promising winger spent his formative years in Belgium, passing through the academies at Olympic Deurne, Tubantia Borgerhout, and Beerschot AC and graduating from the youth division at Anderlecht.

However, the 23-year-old rose in prominence during his spell with Stade Rennais before moving to Manchester City. Doku has been inconsistent this season but has still scored three goals and provided 12 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions thus far. Meanwhile, the 39-cap Belgian international has several high-profile clubs chasing his signature, with Atletico Madrid among his prospective suitors.

La Liga adventure on the horizon?

Atletico Madrid’s interest in Jeremy Doku makes sense. The Spanish giants are combing the market for a versatile wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window, as Diego Simeone wants more firepower in the final third. Additionally, Alexander Sorloth and Antoine Griezmann have faced an uncertain future at Atletico Madrid in recent months.

Several candidates have thus emerged on Atletico Madrid’s wishlist, with Doku also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that the Colchoneros will aim to secure the youngster’s signature by submitting a bid worth €60 million in the summer transfer window, and they have expressed their interest in the 23-year-old winger.

Meanwhile, Doku is not the only Manchester City attacker on Atletico Madrid’s wishlist, with recent reports linking them with Omar Marmoush. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 39-cap Belgian international.
