Depay in flop mode, a big name to replace him

Memphis Depay has suffered numerous injury problems during his career and he is currently going through another difficult period.

Since the start of the season, he has only played four times, with his last appearance coming at the end of September.

Diego Simeone only has Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa as attacking options, but Atleti would prefer to have four at their disposal. With uncertainty surrounding Depay appearing to persist for the moment, MD claims Atleti could look to sign another striker in 2024.

The report states that Dusan Vlahovic could be a good option for Atleti for a number of reasons. The Serbia international has struggled at Juventus in recent seasons, and with his salary set to rise by 33% next summer, the Italian giants could look to move him away in order to save money.

Vlahovic is expected to cost quite a bit, but with Juventus reportedly interested in several Atletico Madrid players, including Morata, they could use this lead to bring the price down. For now, the situation, particularly that of Depay, remains to be monitored.
