Christos Tzolis Transfer from Club Brugge to Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid sent scouts to Copenhagen for Christos Tzolis, who has a contract with Club Brugge until 2029. An offer from Crystal Palace for over 30 million euros was refused last summer. The circulating asking price is 40 million euros, and this figure is described as a basis for negotiations. There is discussion about the possibility of Atlético Madrid attempting to sign the player and the risks of waiting, as English clubs could potentially return with a substantial offer.
A current asking price of 40 million euro for Christos Tzolis is being reported, and this figure is considered a form of negotiations. Club Brugge would also be interested in a deal in the mid-30 million euro range that includes significant clauses or options. English clubs may become interested with large offers if Atlético's offer is too low. The timing for a potential deal is crucial because January is a volatile market, and an increase in competition is anticipated for June.
Atletico Madrid is scouting Tzolis. According to Europacalcio, Club Brugge will only sit at the negotiating table in January for an offer of at least 40 million euro. Towards the summer transfer window, the amount might decrease, especially since Tzolis will not play at the World Cup. Club Brugge will still aim for a record fee.
Christos Tzolis is reportedly being closely monitored by Atletico Madrid, with the question being whether the club will make a move in January or wait until the summer.
An Atletico Madrid scout went to Copenhagen to watch Christos Tzolis during the match between Denmark and Greece, in which he scored. It is not the first time the Spanish club has been linked to the Greek winger, and Atletico Madrid is very interested in the player. Club Brugge hopes they can receive 40 million euros for Tzolis in the coming summer. According to Sport24, there was a previous bid from AC Milan in January 2025 for 15 million euros, and a bid from Crystal Palace last summer for 32 million euros. Club Brugge did not accept these and gave Tzolis a significant pay rise. There is a very small chance that he will be kept in Brugge for another year, and a transfer is certainly possible since Greece will not be at the World Cup.
Atlético Madrid has shown interest in Christos Tzolis following his impressive performances, including his impact in the Champions League and for the Greek national team. His agent and Club Brugge have not shown willingness to let him go easily and might ask for a high fee.
Christos Tzolis has become a key player for Club Brugge, scoring 13 goals and providing 9 assists. His performances in the Champions League have caught the attention of clubs across Spain, England, and Germany. Atlético Madrid is reportedly following his development closely, but it's uncertain if they will make an official attempt this summer. Club Brugge demands at least 30 million for his transfer.
