55 Premier League Live,Recently, according to reports in the British sports media, Chelsea striker Edwin Odoi did not renew his contract with the team. It is understood that because Odoi is not able to determine his own sequence of appearances in the team, so he temporarily shelved the contract renewal negotiations with Chelsea.
Atletico Madrid hope to bring in Odoi
Because Chelsea brought in players such as Werner during this summer, and the team currently has plans to bring in strikers, so this makes it impossible for Odoi to have a stable playing position in the Chelsea lineup next season. The key thing is that Chelsea may not be able to qualify for the Champions League at the moment, which is one of the reasons why Odoi chose to leave. It was at this point that Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity. According to the latest media news, Atletico Madrid has now made contact with Chelsea, and they plan to sign Odoi this summer.
Odoi joining Atletico is a win-win situation
For Odoi himself, the fact that Atletico are a team with Champions League qualification is very attractive, as the Champions League is a tournament that many players aspire to. Atletico Madrid are keen to bring in a new striker this summer. It is reported that they have made contact with Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha before, but the deal was not done, so Atletico plan to use Odoi as an alternative player. From Atletico's point of view, if they can sign Odoi, then the team will no longer need to chase Zaha. Moreover, Zaha's price is much higher than Odoi's, so they don't need to invest too much money to bring in a striker. Odoi has been Chelsea's main striker in recent seasons, and his performance on the pitch is obvious to all. Odoi has a very good ability and technique, and he can make the team's attacking style more flexible.
