Media reports have revealed that Atlético Madrid is considering signing a pure striker during the current summer transfer window, amid great uncertainty surrounding Julián Álvarez's future with the team.
Only a few days remain before the end of the current summer transfer window, while Álvarez seeks to leave Atlético Madrid, as relations between both parties have reached an impasse.

In this context, reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that Atlético Madrid is seeking to sign Jonathan David, Juventus' striker, during the remaining period of the summer transfer window.
Romano added via his official account on the "X" platform that Atlético Madrid is holding serious talks with Jonathan David's agents, alongside entering direct negotiations with Juventus management regarding the Canadian international.
The Italian journalist clarified that Atlético Madrid has placed Jonathan David on a shortlist of three candidates to sign a pure striker before the summer transfer window closes, awaiting how this deal will unfold.
Atlético Madrid faces a crisis in the pure striker position; apart from Álvarez, there is no player in this role except Alexander Sørloth, who is currently absent from the pitches due to injury.
