Atletico Madrid are reportedly prepared to make an official approach for Dinamo Zagreb winger Dani Olmo.
While plying his trade in Croatia, the Spain Under-21 international has only enhanced his reputation ahead of an expected transfer to a bigger club in the future.
Several teams in the Premier League - including Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers - have been linked with a move for the 21-year-old over the past six months.
However, according to reports in his homeland, Atletico are attempting to wrap up a deal for the playmaker in the January window.
There is a suggestion that Diego Simeone wants to sign Olmo before Real Madrid and Barcelona are in a position to make their own efforts to sign the prospect.
The report adds that Atletico are prepared to pay in the region of €35m (£29.95m).
