Omorodion has impressed on loan at Alaves and is set for a new deal at Atletico Madrid
Samu Omorodion, the rising Nigerian star making waves in LaLiga, is on the brink of securing an enhanced contract with Atletico Madrid.
Currently impressing on loan at Alaves, Omorodion's commitment to his parent club is unwavering, as he expresses a focused vision on his future with Los Rojiblancos.
Impressive Loan Spell at Alaves
Omorodion's tenure at Alaves has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing his talent and proving why he's considered one of the promising stars in LaLiga.
The Spain-born Super Eagles hopeful has scored nine goals and provided one assist in only 13 starts for Alaves in all competitions this season and is the team’s top scorer.
His performances have not only endeared him to the Alaves faithful but have also caught the attention of Atletico Madrid's hierarchy, who are now keen on securing his services for the long term, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
Omorodion's Commitment to Atletico Madrid
Despite the swirling rumors linking him to various clubs, Omorodion's allegiance to Atletico Madrid remains steadfast. The Nigerian forward has publicly dismissed speculation about his future, stating, "Links with other clubs? I'm only focused on playing for Atlético Madrid as the next step of my career." This declaration not only highlights his dedication to the club but also underscores his ambition to be a pivotal part of Atletico's future endeavors.
Understanding the potential and market value of their Nigerian prodigy, Atletico Madrid is reportedly planning to revise Omorodion's contract. The current agreement features a release clause close to €100 million, a testament to his worth and potential. However, in a bid to ward off interest from other clubs and secure his future, Atleti is considering an improved deal that would include a higher release clause, ensuring that the forward's value is adequately reflected, and his tenure with the club is solidified.
The Future Looks Bright for Omorodion
For Omorodion, the future at Atletico Madrid looks promising. With the club's intention to enhance his contract, it's clear that they view him as an integral part of their long-term strategy. His development at Alaves, coupled with his unwavering focus on succeeding at Atletico, sets the stage for what could be a standout career for the Nigerian in one of the world's most competitive leagues.
As Atletico Madrid prepares to welcome back their loanee, fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how Omorodion fits into Diego Simeone's plans. If his trajectory continues upward, there's no doubt that the Nigerian forward will become a key figure for Los Rojiblancos in the coming seasons.
