The 27-year-old finished second in the race for the Pichichi Award last season, scoring 23 goals in LaLiga. Artem Dovbyk was one of the targets for Atletico Madrid as well, but the Ukrainian chose to join Roma instead.
Atletico have acted quickly and have now replaced Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata with a solid number nine.
The capital club is also interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea, with an agreement in place over a €45 million deal. However, the player is yet to discuss the terms of a contract with them amidst pressure from the Blues management.
