Atletico Madrid are confident of trumping Fiorentina for Real Valladolid goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.
Fiorentina sports director Pantaleo Corvino was in Spain yesterday for talks over bringing the youngster to Florence for next season.
However, AS says Atletico are confident of completing Asenjo's signing and officials met with the keeper's agent and Valladolid president Carlos Suarez on Monday to discuss terms.
