Atlético scouting two young talents from the Dutch league
The Dutch Eredivisie has long been a showcase for emerging talent destined for Europe’s elite leagues. Madrid’s Atlético is now eyeing two promising players from this proven talent pool.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, the "Colchoneros" have set their sights on Ajax’s 22-year-old midfielder Kenneth Taylor and PSV’s 21-year-old forward Ricardo Pepi. However, Atlético will face stiff competition from other top clubs also tracking these rising stars.
Taylor is currently valued at €35 million, while Pepi could be acquired for €25 million—though his impressive tally of six goals in 11 league matches might prompt PSV to adjust their asking price.
Reminder: Recent reports indicate that Atlético has also begun the search for a successor to long-time head coach Diego Simeone.
