Atlético de Madrid put Deportivo's Yeremay on their transfer radar

Summer 2027 will mark the start of a fierce battle for Yeremay, Deportivo de La Coruña's talented forward. According to a Galician newspaper, Atlético de Madrid are in pole position among the clubs interested in the Canary Islander.

Atlético de Madrid have placed Yeremay Hernández (23) among their priority transfer targets for the summer 2027 window. According to Galician outlet 'Nosdiario', Diego Pablo Simeone was pleasantly surprised by his most recent display at the Metropolitano, a match Atleti won by the narrowest of margins (1-0).

The club's scouts have been tracking the Canary Islands winger closely since his academy days, and his potential fit in the Argentine coach's system would see him fill the role left vacant by Ademola Lookman. The Atlético board will be open to offers for Lookman, who cost €45 million and is under contract until 2030.

According to 'Nosdiario', Deportivo de La Coruña have set a figure of around €50-60 million as the starting point for any negotiations over a transfer. The Deportivo hierarchy are ruling out offers below that amount and would only consider letting him go if the player himself expresses a wish to leave, or if Yeremay ends up being called up to the senior Spain squad.

Yeremay Hernández is under contract until 2030, and his release clause at RC Deportivo de La Coruña stands at between €100 million and €150 million, as confirmed by the club's CEO, Massimo Benassi.
