Frontman Correa has of course long seen his name take its place centre stage in the media chatter in Spain's capital.
This comes with the Argentine, fresh off another season as a 'super sub' in Diego Simeone's squad, having been attracting mounting interest from clubs across the globe.
Correa came close to sealing an Atlético departure during the January transfer window, only for a move to Saudi Arabia to fall through at the last minute.
As alluded to above, though, this time round, the 30-year-old's exit will come to fruition.
As per a report from Fabrizio Romano, citing journalist César Luis Merlo:

Fabrizio Romano confirms which striker is on Liverpool's transfer shortlist
Liverpool have got plans to add a high-quality striker to their squad this summer. Despite winning the Premier League title, Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are not standing still. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota never really convinced the Dutchman during his first season in charge and the transfer focus at Anfield will soon turn to a No9. Advertisement Several players have been linked - not least Victor Osimhen and Joao Pedro - but there are a couple of names standing out above all others. At the top of the list seems to be Alexander Isak. A deal would be difficult for the Sweden international - but confidence at the club will be sky-high after doing business with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz. Then there's Hugo Ekitike. Fabrizio Romano reveals Liverpool striker hitlist It's been reported that Liverpool are concerned about Eintracht Frankfurt's high valuation. But given the Frenchman's output and his potential to develop further, €100m might well look reasonable in time. Advertisement Fabrizio Romano has now shared his view on what's likely to happen this summer as Liverpool go in search of a frontman. Isak's excessive valuation - around £120m and over - is probably going to be too much for Richard Hughes to get to. The Italian transfer supremo admits Liverpool WOULD indeed like to go for Isak but at the moment there are better opportunities for a No9 out there. © IMAGO - Hugo Ekitike Liverpool Isak 'a very, very difficult deal' 'Liverpool would try to go for Isak [if he became available] but at the moment I don't have this feeling,' he told GIVEMESPORT's Market Madness podcast. 'The club too, from what I'm hearing, see it as a very, very difficult deal.' Advertisement Instead, Romano believes Ekitike will come back into the frame. The Frankfurt forward scored 22 goals in all competitions last season - helping his side to achieve Champions League football. Frankfurt are well protected from a transfer fee perspective with Ekitike's contract lasting until 2029. Nonetheless this is not a transfer that Romano is ruling out. © IMAGO Ekitike 'an interesting opportunity' 'A name I can mention for Liverpool is still Hugo Ekitike at Eintracht Frankfurt,' the Italian transfer supremo continued. 'Because if Darwin Nunez leaves, let's see what happens with Luis Diaz, but especially Darwin, and I see Darwin leaving this summer. Advertisement 'Well, I think for Ekitike this could be a possibility to go to Liverpool, because there were calls from Chelsea two weeks ago. Man United, in recent days, also made contact with the agents to understand the situation. 'But for Liverpool, this is also a possibility. Liverpool also spoke to the agents. Also, Liverpool considered Ekitike an interesting opportunity. 'And so that's the name I would keep in their shortlist.'

Barcelona's Deco addresses future of Monaco target Ansu Fati
Despite negotiations being ongoing for several weeks, Ansu Fati's (22) prospective move from Barcelona to AS Monaco has yet to be concluded. The Catalan club's sporting director, Deco, has now addressed the foward's future. Fati, who has featured sparingly for Barcelona and struggled during a loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion during the 2023/24 season, is looking to get his career back on track. Monaco are providing the Spaniard that possibility, however, the Principality club are looking to take the player on loan, with a purchase option, rather than on a permanent basis. Advertisement L'Équipe reported earlier this week that Barcelona's preference for a permanent transfer was the main reason that the deal was being held up. However, Deco has now said that Fati is likely to leave this summer and on a loan deal. 'With his age and career, Fati can't stay without playing […] if he leaves, it will be on a loan,' he said in comments transcribed by Fabrizio Romano. That will suit Monaco, who will now look to conclude a deal. The percentage of Fati's salary paid by Les Monégasques may also be a sticking point, given the Spaniard's high wages. Monaco are less pressed to immediately conclude a deal, with Maghnes Akliouche no nearer to the exit door. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Chelsea not planning to revisit goalkeeper transfer
Chelsea are not planning to revisit a deal to sign Mike Maignan from AC Milan later in the transfer window. The West Londoners held talks with AC Milan over the transfer of the France goalkeeper earlier this month, but failed to find an agreement on a fee. Chelsea had hoped to sign Maignan in time for the FIFA Club World Cup but were expected to resume negotiations again after the tournament. Advertisement However, Enzo Maresca looks likely to continue with his current options. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea 'maintain their confidence' in Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Mike Penders as their options for the season and currently have no plans to resume talks for Maignan. Maignan's contract at AC Milan expires next summer and the Italian side run the risk of losing the goalkeeper on a free transfer in 2026. The Rossoneri had demanded a fee of around £21m for the 29-year-old, with Chelsea's offer in the region of £12.9m falling significantly short of their price tag.
