Atletico Madrid are ready to raid Real Madrid this summer.

With talk of Real willing to meet the buyout clause of Atletico fullback Theo Hernandez, it's emerged a move in the opposite direction is being considered.

Don Balon says Atletico are eager to snap up Real striker Mariano Diaz for next season.

Mariano resisted loan interest from Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia in January, though with his playing chances failing to improve, he's ready to move on.

Atletico have been watching developments and are ready to sign the striker permanently this summer.
