Atletico Madrid want to sign a striker to compete with Diego Costa and Morata LaLiga Looking for an older, more experienced player

Atletico Madrid's major problem last season was scoring goals and, with the departure of top scorer Antoine Griezmann to come, that issue is about to become bigger.

Griezmann, who has been the club's top goalscorer in each of the last five campaigns, will leave Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata in charge of the goalscoring duties.

Costa ended the season with more matches suspended (eight) than goals (five), while Morata has been more impressive, netting six times since joining from Chelsea in January.

There's also Nikola Kalinic, but he's ended the year with just 48 minutes on the pitch over the last 11 games.

Therefore, Diego Simeone is looking to sign another striker to compete with and put pressure on Costa and Morata.

This forward will likely be brought in to rotate with the current frontmen, allowing the team to fight across all three fronts: LaLiga Santander, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.

There is the possibility of signing Rodrigo Moreno if the Spaniard decides to leave Valencia this summer, but Los Rojiblancos are looking for a cheaper, more experienced option.

Sporting director Andrea Berta is looking at signing someone that already knows LaLiga Santander and is coming towards the end of their career.
