Lyon`s sporting director Juninho Pernambucano has confirmed that striker Musa Dembele wants to move to Atletico Madrid. The `mattresses` want the 24-year-old Frenchman to replace the departed Diego Costa.
`Musa came to me and explained the situation to me. He thinks it`s time to change the team because he has lost some motivation. There was no way to expect that. I really like Dembele as a footballer. `We are negotiating with Atletico, and the footballer himself has already agreed with the Spanish club, ` said Juninho. Atletico Madrid want Dembele from Lyon
The former midfielder has not denied that one of the options for a new striker if Dembele is sold is Islam Slimani. The Algerian is owned by Leicester, but has recorded just 19 minutes since the start of the season in the Premier League and the `foxes` are waiting for offers for him. Musa Dembele`s transfer is expected to be finalized in a few days. The striker scored only once in 16 games during the campaign in League 1, and last season scored 16 goals.
