Atletico Madrid are in advanced talks with Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu.
The Turkey international's Leicester expires in June and the Athletic says talks have opened with Atletico.
Atletico are now reaching the stage where they're ready to table a pre-contract offer to Soyuncu.
The stopper has just been reinstalled to the Foxes XI by new manager Dean Smith, but he still favours departing this summer after a difficult 18 months.
Indeed, it's suggested even if the Foxes were to offer him new terms that Soyuncu would turn them down.
