Atletico Madrid are in talks with AS Roma midfielder Adem Ljajic.
Despite the arrival of former Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann, Atletico coach Diego Simeone feels his midfield still lacks a cutting edge and he is a big fan of Ljajic.
Il Messaggero says talks have opened between the Spanish Liga champs and the player's camp about personal terms.
Roma aren't expected to stand in Ljajic's way should Atletico make a realistic offer for the midfielder.
