As per Football London, Postecoglou has given the green light for his departure from the club. This move was quite a surprise for the supporters.

Even though Fulham, Juventus and Napoli are interested in the player, Spanish club Atletico Madrid is far ahead to sign the 28-year-old. They have completed initial talks with the player, who is currently playing for Denmark in Euro 2024.

Atletico may move their procedures quicker by foreseeing the reunion chance.
