But Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito, revealed: "Barça has a No9 who is galactic which is (Roberto) Lewandowski, but he is going to be 37 years old and they are looking in the medium-to-long term.

"There is a player who they love that was sold by Atlético and that someone has to explain to me why they did it like that. I speak of Samu Omorodion."

Atletico sold 50 per cent of the rights of Omorodion to Porto for €15m. Porto reserved two purchase options: the first to be executed in June 2025, which would be €5m for 15 per cent more of the rights to Samu, and one year later another 15 per cent for another €5m. Therefore, Porto could be the owner of the player's 80% rights for €25m.

Atletico has no purchase option reserved, but are due half of any possible transfer.
