Fiorentina refuse to let Dusan Vlahovic leave for less than 100 million euros, a figure that Atletico refuse to pay. The efforts of the Spanish club, therefore, are focused on Matheus Cunha, the alternative. According to 'Sport Italia' journalist Rudy Galetti, the club would have secured his signature for 30 million.

Diego Pablo Simeone needs a striker. There are less than ten days left until the market expires and there is still time for some reinforcements to arrive at the Metropolitano. In the meantime, the Argentinian is keeping calm.

The favourite for the '9' position was Vlahovic. However, the high demands of Fiorentina, who wanted to get 100 million for the Serbian, have made Atletico throw in the towel.

In Italy, they claim that in the face of Fiorentina's refusal, Atletico have focused on 'plan B', Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian, who plays for Hertha Berlin, is also liked by the board and is said to be the focus of their efforts.

According to Rudy Galetti, journalist of 'Sport Italia', Atletico have already secured his signature. According to this source, the Simeone's club will pay 30 million euros to Hertha Berlin to get the striker.

For the moment, there is nothing official. Matheus Cunha is on the list of possible strikers, but Atletico have not commented on this.

What is certain is that Matheus Cunha did not play in Hertha Berlin's match against Wolfsburg on Saturday. In fact, he was left out of the squad. According to the German channel 'Sky', this absence was precisely because he was negotiating his departure, although they did not say to which team he could leave.
