Atlético Madrid Eyes Argentine Star Maher Carrizo for Offensive Boost

Atlético Madrid are targeting Vélez Sarsfield’s rising star Maher Carrizo as part of a strategic overhaul of their attacking options, according to TodoFichajes. The 19-year-old Argentine striker, who has already been capped by his country at youth level, has drawn comparisons to the best in South America and is attracting growing interest from Europe’s elite clubs.

Carrizo’s explosive pace and technical ability have made him a standout in Argentina’s Primera División, with scouts highlighting his potential to follow in the footsteps of compatriots such as Sergio Agüero. Atlético’s long-standing success with Argentine players – including current stars Ángel Correa and Rodrigo De Paul – lends credibility to their pursuit. However, the club face stiff competition with Premier League sides ready to match La Liga’s financial offers.

With Antoine Griezmann and Correa potentially entering their final seasons at the Metropolitano, coach Diego Simeone has identified Carrizo as a key piece in the puzzle of renewing the squad’s dynamism. Velez, aware of the looming bidding war, has set an initial asking price of 25 million euros. For Atlético, securing the teenager’s signature would signal both a commitment to youth development and a tactical shift in their transfer strategy.
