Atlético very close to signing Moussa Dembélé

Moussa Dembélé looks like he will be Atlético Madrid's next signing. The club had been searching the market for a new striker since the exit of Diego Costa, and according to 'Marca', the chosen one is the Frenchman.

The possible signing of Willian José from Real Sociedad was also on the table, but the board were looking for a loan and have found it easier to negotiate with Lyon. There will be no option to buy if the deal is confirmed.

With his arrival to the squad, Simeone will have more variety in attack. From the fight of Costa to the touch and speed of Dembélé, which could combine perfectly with Luis Suárez. If Simeone gets them to complement each other, he will have a gold mine up top.

However, if Atlético manage to complete the deal, you have to take into account that, first, they have to reach a deal with Lyon with regards to how his salary will be shared out. After various seasons at one of the top teams in France, it will not be low.
