A groin injury has hampered him so far in 2026/27 — he’s scored one goal and provided one assist to date — but Yeremay impressed in Dépor’s narrow 1-0 loss to Atlético at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano last month.In part due to that performance, Diego Simeone and Mateu Alemany see Yeremay as a possible replacement for Lookman, who has scored only two goals across 15 games in all competitions this season. The 29-year-old suffered a suspected muscle injury in the first half of Nigeria’s 3-1 win over Tanzania on Friday, and he now faces a multi-week absence in a new setback amid a disappointment-laden campaign.Lookman’s below-par performances could lead to a departure as soon as January, but any move for Yeremay as his long-term replacement will have to wait until the summer. According to Nós Diario’s Óscar Méndez, Yeremay does not want to leave mid-season; the 23-year-old wants to ensure that the team he has captained secures safety before he considers his future.Yeremay drew interest from Hull City and Sporting Clube de Portugal over the summer; he even paid a visit to Hull’s facilities before he opted to stay at Dépor, where he rose through the ranks after he joined the club’s academy structure as a 14-year-old. He is under contract at Riazor until 2030 with a release clause reportedly over €100 million, and Méndez’s report states that Dépor will not consider offers below €50 million for the star attacker.Yeremay’s preseason groin injury has taken a while to heal, and he hasn’t quite returned to his explosive best. A creative, unpredictable and skillful winger, Yeremay is a strong dribbler one-on-one and has a knack for working his way out of tight spaces. He is right-footed and usually operates on the left, though he has spent more time playing through the middle this term.With Lookman’s career here potentially petering out before our eyes, it’s a good idea for Atleti to lay the groundwork for a transfer like this. In recent windows, the club has shown an improved awareness of the domestic market, taking adva
