Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is confident winning the race for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Real Madrid are also interested in Lacazette, but despite the presence of Zinedine Zidane, he'd prefer to move to Atletico.

Radio Cope says Atletico chief Miguel Ángel Gil Marín met with Lacazette and his minders in February about a summer move to Spain.

The talks were extensive, with Gil Marin revealing Atletico's plans for their new stadium, along with their ambitions for next season.

Lacazette was impressed and despite also being contacted by Real, he is favouring Atletico as a destination for this summer.
