Atletico Madrid are chasing Malaga superkid Samu Castillejo.

AS says Atlético officials have already been in touch with the player and Málaga to confirm their interest.

No formal proposal has been made as of the moment but Atlético's intention is to acquire half of the player's transfer to the Calderón but and allow him to remain on loan with the Andalucians - in a similar pact to which Real Madrid made with Mallorca for Marco Asensio last month.
