Report: Atletico Madrid to swoop for Nolito

A report claims that Celta Vigo forward Nolito could join Atletico Madrid ahead of Barcelona in this summer's transfer window.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly considering a summer move for Celta Vigo forward Nolito.

The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to Barcelona in the last couple of transfer windows and it is understood that the Catalan giants are still interested in re-signing the Spanish international.

However, according to AS, Atletico are prepared to pay the forward's release clause of £14m and will attempt to tie up a deal over the next week.

Nolito hit 12 La Liga goals in 29 appearances for Celta last season and has registered four times in his last six Spain caps ahead of the European Championships, which get underway on Friday night.
