Atletico Madrid Step Up Iwobi Interest in a Big Transfer

Atletico Madrid have submitted a €25 million (approximately £21.5 million) bid for the Nigerian international this week, but Fulham have rejected the offer. The Spanish giants are making the Fulham midfielder a priority target for their summer transfer window.

The Details of the Proposed Deal
According to reports, Atletico Madrid offered Iwobi a four-year contract worth €7 million per year , with personal terms worth around £115,000 per week . The 29-year-old Nigerian international was reportedly interested in making the move to La Liga.

Why Atletico Want Iwobi
Atletico Madrid are reportedly eyeing the move following Iwobi’s standout and impressive 2024-25 season with Fulham in the Premier League . The versatile midfielder has been a key player for both club and country, offering Diego Simeone tactical flexibility.

Current Status
Fulham were not anticipating the bid and remain unwilling to sell their key player . The west London club’s rejection suggests they value Iwobi highly and are reluctant to let him go, especially given his importance to their Premier League campaign.
The transfer saga appears to be ongoing, with Atletico Madrid clearly serious about securing Iwobi’s services, but no deal has been completed as of now. This remains a developing story in the current transfer window.
