Atleti Unwilling to Lose on Raspadori Deal

Atlético Madrid continue to see Giacomo Raspadori as an important part of their squad and are not actively looking to sell the Italian forward in January.

The club would only entertain offers that allow them to recover the full €22 million invested when signing him from Napoli in the summer of 2025.

Roma recently tested the waters with a proposal of a €2 million loan fee plus a €20 million purchase option, but Atlético rejected it outright.

Sources indicate Atleti would only accept a loan structure with a mandatory purchase obligation at or above their valuation, no optional clauses.

The 25-year-old versatile attacker has shown flashes of quality since arriving but has faced competition for minutes in Diego Simeone’s system.

Despite links to Serie A return, particularly with Roma under Claudio Ranieri seeking attacking reinforcements. Atlético remain firm on retaining Raspadori unless their financial terms are met.

A situation to monitor as the January window progresses, with Raspadori’s future likely hinging on whether any club meets Atlético’s non-negotiable stance.
