Atletico Madrid considering return of in-form Samu Omorodion from FC Porto

Atletico Madrid are reportedly monitoring the progress of their former striker Samu Omorodion, who has made a remarkable impact at FC Porto since his summer move.

Omorodion has scored seven goals in his first seven appearances, raising eyebrows back in Madrid, according to Diario AS.

Recall the young forward admitted that his final days at Atletico were tough, as he felt sidelined while his departure was being arranged.

Despite the strained exit on August 24, Atletico retained 50% of his rights, with another 30% potentially going to Porto in the next two years.

However, his impressive start has reignited interest in bringing him back to Madrid.

According to Football Espana, Atletico were forced to sell the promising striker to balance their finances at the time.

But they also stand to gain significantly from any future transfer, especially if Omorodion maintains his current form.
