The club have accepted the French forward will leave this summer

Atletico Madrid have already turned to the market in search of a replacement for Antoine Griezmann. 

With the French forward moving to Barcelona, who will pay his release clause on July 1, Atletico need someone to partner Diego Costa in attack. 

CEO Gil Marin has already admitted that there's a chance Griezmann leaves, so finding a replacement is now a must for the Europa League winners. 

The name on the table at the moment is Valencia's Rodrigo Moreno. The forward would tick the boxes the club are looking for and they could sign him with the 100 million they get from BArça. 

Valencia coach Marcelino says they would only even think about selling for a ridiculously high bid, with Superdeporte claiming Los Che would like Kevin Gameiro to be included in any potential deal.
