Atletico Madrid is keeping a close watch on Albert Sambi Lokonga's progress. In the event that Sevilla is unable to finalize a permanent transfer for Lokonga, Atletico Madrid is preparing to propose an offer exceeding €10 million for the player. Lokonga, who is currently on loan to Sevilla from Arsenal, has indicated his wish to remain in La Liga and join Sevilla on a permanent basis. Although Sevilla and Arsenal had initially agreed on a purchase option of €12 million, Sevilla is contemplating renegotiating this fee due to Lokonga having only one year left on his contract. In the meantime, Atletico Madrid, alongside Real Betis and Villarreal, is keeping a close eye on the situation and is ready to act should Sevilla be unsuccessful in securing Lokonga's permanent transfer.
