Paul Onuachu, Franck Kessie and Aurelien Tchouameni. Those three Africans are transfer targets for Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid in January. While Onuachu and Casey are playing for Nigeria and Ivory Coast, Tchouameni is of Cameroonian decent but plays for France since he was 17 years old. And out of those three players, Onuachu has the biggest chance of switching clubs in January, according to respectable Marca. Huge appetite but no money – Barca to sell Dembele and buy KessieThe Nigerian forward is currently playing in Genk, and was scouted by Atletico’s sports director Andrea Berta, who figured that 2 meter high striker is what current La Liga champions need. Basically, only Luis Suarez (34) is the classic striker in Cholo Simeone’s team, apart from Ivan Saponjic, who signed in 2019 and managed only 5 appearances since. Onuachu can bring a lot when Simoene wants to attack it’s opponents with high balls, which was often a problem for Atletico.(3.25) ATLETICO (3.20) LIVERPOOL (2.45) The Nigerian made his first professional steps in Danish Midtjylland, where he came from Ebede in the summer of 2012. Three years later, he became a standard attacker, after which the number of goals constantly increased, so he moved to Genk with almost 74 goals in 181 games, with a substantial compensation of 767 million Ksh. That would be a big risk for many clubs of a similar caliber, but in the end it will obviously turn out to be a complete hit, considering that the current value of the striker is estimated at around 2.5 billion Ksh.Cholo’s secret desire: Asked Luis Suarez to propose Messi with Atletico moveAs for other two players, Barcelona is keen on Kessie, and one of the reasons is that he will become free agent in 2022, but they are not alone, as other big European clubs are also after him, not to mention that AC Milan also wants to extend the contract with the Ivorian. Aurelien Tchouameni is currently valued 7.6 billion Ksh (bought from Bordeaux in 2018 for 2.3 billion) and Monaco already had interests from their player apart from Real. If Mbappe signs for the Madrid club as a free agent in June, there will be money for another talented young French international, who would play alongside Camavinga, or even Paul Pogba (if his extension with Man. Utd doesn’t work out).
