Atletico Madrid in talks with Paco Alcacer Atletico Madrid Told Dortmund he wants to leave

Paco Alcacer has told Borussia Dortmund that he wants to leave the club following the signing of Erling Haaland from RB Salzburg.

Atletico Madrid have already made contact with the Spaniard whose desire is to return to LaLiga Santander.

Los Rojiblancos now have two options on the table to buy a striker in January: Alcacer or Paris Saint-Germain's Edinson Cavani.

Cavani is an old favourite of Diego Simeone, but there are concerns over his wages.

There is the option to loan Alcacer for the rest of the season, avoiding the wage bills for now, and have an obligation to buy in the summer.

Alcacer would cost Atletico in the region of 30 million euros, which is what Dortmund paid Barcelona for him in 2019.

The striker, who is already close with Alvaro Morata, wants to return to Spain, score goals and secure his place in Luis Enrique's squad for Euro 2020.
