After a positive season with Manchester City, Alvaro Negredo represents Atletico Madrid’s target to replace the departing Diego Costa. In fact, after having lost David Villa, who will be joining New York City FC, Atleti is looking for viable options.
The Rojiblancos are ready to make a €31M offer to the Citizens, to buy the Spanish striker. Former Sevilla striker, who failed to score in Man City’s last 16 appearances, was not named in Vicente Del Bosque’s final 23-man squad.
Alvaro Negredo will likely go back to Spain at the end of the Summer
Due to Pellegrini choosing Dzeko over Negredo, Manchester City is willing to sell the Spanish forward, but wish to still make a profit. The 28-year-old earns a salary of approximately €95000 a week at the Etihad and Atletico Madrid are willing to match it.
After only one season, Negredo is believed to leave the Citizens to join Atletico Madrid
Spanish teammates David Silva and Javi Garcia hope Negredo will stay, but with Aguero and Dzeko likely remaining with the Citizens, former Sevilla attacker is believed to leave Manchester during the transfer window.
