Winger wanted by Varandas at Sporting now on Simeone’s radar at Atl. Madrid | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid are interested in Christos Tzolis, a left winger who plays for Club Brugge. The Greek footballer, who was on Sporting’s shortlist in the last transfer window, has caught the eye of the Argentine coach of the team from the Spanish capital.

According to the Belgian press, scouting reports on the 23-year-old Hellenic footballer are at the top of the Spaniards’ list. Moreover, a scouting team from the Colchoneros’ club was present at the recent international match between Denmark and Greece.

Club Brugge were asking around 30 million euros to sell Christos Tzolis. The winger had been flagged by Bernardo Palmeiro and Flávio Costa, Sporting’s football executives, but the price desired by the Belgians drove the green and whites away from the deal.

Among his main attributes, the player had qualities that matched what the Lions were looking for, namely being right-footed, fast, aggressive in the final third, and versatile, with the ability to play on the right and even as a second striker.

In 2025/26, wearing the Club Brugge shirt, Christos Tzolis — valued at 30 million euros — featured in 17 matches. During the 1,453 minutes he spent on the pitch, the Greek winger scored six goals and provided eight assists for his teammates.
