Who could replace Sørloth at Atlético? Mateta and Richarlison emerge

Pascual Ruiz runs through strikers whose contracts are expiring and puts forward Mateta. Héctor Ruiz has his doubts: he cannot see him consistently giving defenders like Upamecano a tough night in the decisive stages of the Champions League.

Pascual Ruiz does what every fan does: look up which strikers are out of contract soon. João Félix comes up, though he does not believe that is a realistic option, while the more serious candidate is Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was linked in the past. He also mentions Richarlison, while admitting there are hardly any interesting strikers available.

Héctor Ruiz responds respectfully, but with reservations. If Atlético de Madrid reach the Champions League quarter-finals or semi-finals, Sørloth's replacement will be asked to do what Sørloth is not doing. And he cannot see Mateta giving Upamecano a bad night on a consistent basis, even if he might manage it on the odd occasion.

Pascual explains that he looked into it after seeing Sergi Cardona's name come up, and Héctor extends his doubts to the full-back: however good a market opportunity he may be, if he has to go up against Olise, it might come a little too soon for him.
