British striker Callum Wilson is considering the possibility of joining Atletico Madrid as his next football adventure. His current team, Newcastle United, is willing to part ways with him on a permanent basis this month, and Wilson is eager to make the move to the Spanish club.
Wilson, who joined Newcastle from Bournemouth in 2020 for a hefty fee of £20 million, has become a beloved player among the fans. However, with just 18 months left on his contract, this may be his last opportunity to secure a significant contract in his football career.
Due to financial constraints, Newcastle is in a position where they need to sell players before they can bring in new ones. This is because of their commitment to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, which limit a club's spending over a three-year period. In light of this, the Magpies are open to letting go of their highly-paid player, Kieran Trippier, who has caught the attention of Bayern Munich.
While Atletico Madrid had initially proposed a loan deal for Wilson, Newcastle has rejected this offer. However, the Daily Mail reports that the Magpies are reluctantly willing to let him go on a permanent basis. Wilson has been a key player for Newcastle, scoring 46 goals in 102 appearances, and his departure would undoubtedly be a loss for the team.
The 31-year-old striker has his heart set on a move to the Spanish capital, where he believes he can further advance his career. Despite financial troubles at Atletico, Newcastle's decision to let Wilson go has sparked interest from other clubs as well.
With nine caps for the England national team, Wilson has proven his abilities on the pitch and is a valuable asset for any club. It remains to be seen where his next football journey will take him, but for now, all eyes are on Atletico Madrid. In other news, former Roma manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly in talks with Napoli after his recent sacking.
