Atletico Madrid want Serie A stars to replace Griezmann and Costa

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid reportedly see Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala as replacements for possibly outgoing duo Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa.

Barcelona are again in for Griezmann, who has been on the radar of the Catalan side for a long time now. Costa has failed to convince Diego Simeone and he wants a better player up front for the side than either him or Alvaro Morata.

AS state that the Los Rojiblancos see Dybala and Icardi as the best options to replace their outgoing stars, with Cadena SER stating that Barcelona already have a five-year contract in place to sign Griezmann in the summer.

Andrea Berta is looking at players in Italy and he is now acquiring information about both Dybala and Icardi in an attempt to know how much they will cost in the summer.

They feel that the two players will form a big part of the new Atletico and will help easen the transition from an old Atletico to the new one.
