Atlético de Madrid shows interest in signing Dodi Lukébakio, a Sevilla star

Atlético de Madrid is weighing up a move for Sevilla striker Dodi Lukébakio, who has emerged as one of the standout attacking options in La Liga. The Belgian forward, 27, is seen as a strong candidate to bolster Diego Simeone’s attack before the transfer window closes.

A forward in top form

Lukébakio comes off one of the best seasons of his career, scoring 11 goals in La Liga while showcasing pace, consistency, and versatility across the frontline. Atlético is specifically seeking a quick striker capable of adding immediate firepower to the squad, and the Belgian fits the profile.

Transfer conditions

Sevilla values Lukébakio at around €30 million (R$190.2 million). While Atlético views the deal as a market opportunity, the club is still internally evaluating whether to commit to the investment.

Beyond his numbers, Lukébakio also brings experience from several European leagues, something Atlético’s sporting management believes could adapt well to Simeone’s demanding style of play.

Sevilla’s financial dilemma

For Sevilla, the forward is considered a crucial piece of their attacking unit. However, the club’s financial pressure and the need to balance accounts could open the door for negotiations.

Champions League appeal

For Lukébakio, a move to Atlético would represent a step up with the chance to play Champions League football and fight for major titles. Talks are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as Atlético finalizes its transfer priorities.
