Atletico Madrid are determined to win the battle for Sevilla winger Vitolo.
Marca says despite FIFA's transfer ban remaining, a €40 million price tag hasn't scared Diego Simeone off, so convinced he is the player he needs.
Therefore, Simeone would be fine signing him even if it means Vitolo not playing until January 2018, as was the case when Barcelona signed Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal.
Atletico are on the offensive, and Simeone won't stop until he trades one Rojiblanco shirt for another.
Manchester City are also being linked with the Spain international.
