Paul Onuachu scored last season with his eyes closed in the Jupiler Pro League. However, there was no transfer. According to Marca, the Nigerian can now start to dream of a big switch. The Spanish newspaper links Onuachu to Atlético Madrid.
With João Félix, Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann, Atlético Madrid already has clean people on the attack. Still, according to Marca, the club where Yannick Carrasco plays is thinking of Onuachu. That’s because the Nigerian can add something extra to the attack with his physical stature.
The newspaper believes that there have already been contacts with KRC Genk to discuss a transfer. Atletico Madrid are reportedly considering adding Onuachu to the squad as early as January. The transfer value of Onuachu is currently estimated at around 22 million euros, but Genk is strong in the negotiations. Only in September did the striker extend his contract in the Gegeka Arena until mid-2024.
Onuachu has scored nine goals in nine league matches this season. Last season he became the top scorer of the Jupiler Pro League with thirty-three goals.
Update: The newspapaer reports that KRC Genk denies that there have been any contacts with Atlético Madrid in connection with a transfer for Paul Onuachu. Can the Limburgers still keep the tree-tall top scorer?
