Atletico Madrid's chances of landing Benfica defender Luisao could depend on city rivals Real Madrid.

AS says should Real include defender Ezequiel Garay in their offer for Benfica winger Angel di Maria, that will free up Luisao to make the move to Atletico.

Atletico have made the 29 year-old their top defensive transfer target this summer and hope to do business for around €5 million.

Benfica have already fielded an approach from Atletico about Luisao.
