Atlético Madrid had a £21.5 million ($29.4 million) bid for Alex Iwobi rebuffed by Fulham, as revealed by Africa Foot.

Atlético de Madrid is showing interest in acquiring Alex Iwobi, who is currently a player for Fulham. Sources from Africafoot indicate that Atlético is closely monitoring the Nigerian player's performance. Iwobi had an impressive 2024/25 season at Fulham, where he scored 10 goals and made 6 assists over 38 Premier League matches. Although Atlético has been gathering reports on Iwobi since his Arsenal days, they remain cautious due to his age, his contract that runs until 2028, and his market value, which is approximately 28 million euros. Reports suggest that Atlético has proposed a four-year contract to Iwobi, with an annual gross salary of seven million euros, an offer that is reportedly appealing to the player and his representatives. Atlético's interest in Iwobi comes as they seek to replace Yannick Carrasco with a dribbling winger who can penetrate defensive lines. Nevertheless, the potential transfer hinges on Atlético's budget, as they are prioritizing other positions, with substantial funds already allocated for players like Álex Baena and Cuti Romero.
