Atletico Madrid are reportedly monitoring the progress of their former striker Samu Omorodion, who has made a remarkable impact at FC Porto since his summer move. The young forward has quickly established himself as a key player in the Portuguese league, showcasing his scoring prowess and technical ability on the field.
Omorodion has scored seven goals in his first seven appearances, raising eyebrows back in Madrid, according to Diario AS. His exceptional performance has not only delighted Porto fans but has also caught the attention of Atletico's management, who are keen to track his development closely as they consider their options for the future.
Recall the young forward admitted that his final days at Atletico were tough, as he felt sidelined while his departure was being arranged. Despite the difficulties surrounding his exit, he has managed to thrive at Porto, proving his worth as a formidable striker. This transition has been beneficial for his career, allowing him to regain confidence and showcase his talents in a new environment.
Despite the strained exit on August 24, Atletico retained 50% of his rights, with another 30% potentially going to Porto in the next two years. This arrangement gives Atletico a financial stake in Omorodion's future, allowing them to benefit from his success even after his departure.[/p>
However, his impressive start has reignited interest in bringing him back to Madrid. Atletico's scouts are likely to continue observing his performance closely, evaluating whether he can replicate his current form if he were to return to the club.
According to Football Espana, Atletico were forced to sell the promising striker to balance their finances at the time. The decision was made amidst financial constraints, which impacted their ability to retain young talents like Omorodion. But they also stand to gain significantly from any future transfer, especially if Omorodion maintains his current form. With his rising stock in the football world, Atletico could be in a favorable position to negotiate a deal that would bring him back to the club where he started his professional career.
