Anastasios Douvikas has emerged as a transfer target for Atletico Madrid after his performances at Como attracted the interest of manager Diego Simeone. According to Spanish website Fichajes.net, the Argentine coach considers the Greek striker an interesting option to strengthen the attacking line as the club examines replacing Alexander Sørloth. However, there is currently no confirmed official offer for the player.
The 27-year-old forward is enjoying a strong season under Cesc Fàbregas, recording 11 goals and two assists in 14 matches. He also tops the Champions League scoring charts with six goals, having scored a hat-trick during Como’s 9-1 victory against Lens. These statistics have drawn attention from abroad as he continues to perform consistently in domestic and European competition.
Simeone reportedly appreciates Douvikas’ strength, speed, and ability to attack spaces, with his previous La Liga experience at Celta viewed as a significant advantage. Reports suggest Atletico Madrid could move for the striker in January, but Como are said to be under no pressure to sanction a departure at this stage.
