Ghanaian midfielder Baba Iddrisu Mohammed has become a prime target for Atlético de Madrid as the LaLiga giants aim to quickly replace Thomas Partey, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report.
Partey left the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium team to join Arsenal after the Gunners paid their € 50 million buyout clause on the transfer deadline.
The rojiblancos are a bit light in the center of the field after the departure of the Ghanaian international.
Atlético de Madrid have signed Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira, but Diego Simeone is said to be unhappy with his midfield options.
The capital-based party has a 30-day period to sign a national replacement.
This is in accordance with LaLiga Santander rules where the club is granted a 30-day period to sign a player from a team within Spain.
And reports from the Spanish capital indicate that Atlético de Madrid has identified Real Mallorca’s king, Baba Mohammed, as a replacement for his compatriot.
Mohammed had a great season with Real Mallorca in the top flight last season.
He missed only two games of the 38th round of matches as the club was unable to maintain its league status.
The 24-year-old has started the Second Division strong, making 4 appearances to help place the team in 7th position after 4 rounds of games.
If the transfer materializes, Mohammed will miss the first half of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League, as Atlético de Madrid presented their squad list on Tuesday, October 6.
