Leeds United attacker Rodrigo Moreno could replace Joao Felix at Atletico Madrid.
That is according to Offsider Sports journalist Aaron Dominguez, who reports Rodrigo has been offered to Atletico amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future at Elland Road.
Atletico are expected to be in the market for a new attacker this summer with Felix having been banished from pre-season training by Diego Simeone, while also losing his number seven shirt to Antoine Griezmann.
Felix’s future at Atletico appeared all but over in January after he made the temporary switch to Chelsea, though the Blues are yet to sign him on a permanent deal.
The 23-year-old is still expected to leave the Spanish capital this summer, though, with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain among the sides to have been linked.
Rodrigo offered to Atletico amid Joao Felix uncertainty
Rodrigo is widely expected to depart Leeds this summer following the club’s relegation to the Championship, with the 32-year-old having just 12 months left on his contract.
As such, Rodrigo could be available for a cut-price of around £3.5 million, which has caught the attention of Premier League, Spanish and Middle Eastern clubs.
The likes of Everton and Fulham are both said to be interested, while Qatari side Al-Rayyan were reportedly in advanced talks almost two weeks ago.
Alongside Willy Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville and Illan Meslier, Rodrigo has been granted an extra week off before returning for pre-season, despite most of the other internationals having returned on Monday.
That could well provide him the time to sort his future so that he does not report back for testing at Thorp Arch.
