Moussa Dembele’s positive first impression as a sub against Levante now sets up a race for Atletico Madrid to determine whether to make his addition permanent.
The club had to wait 37 days for on-loan attacker to become available to play.
Diego Simeone’s side has 15 more league matches to go and will likely use those fixtures to make a quick choice on Dembele’s reported €33.5 million ($40.6m) buy option.
And Marca have said that no decision regarding buying him has been made yet.
