Atletico Madrid look to be closing on a move for Brazilian midfielder Diego.
The creative schemer has no future at current club Wolfsburg under manager Felix Magath and is actively being encouraged to find another team.
La Liga side Atletico expressed an interest in the former Juventus man at the start of the month and talks are progressing well over a deal with Wolfsburg.
The German side paid €15M to take Diego back to the Bundesliga – he had previously starred for Werder Bremen – from Juventus last summer.
But the Brazilian endured a poor campaign, falling out with Magath almost as soon as the former Bayern Munich boss was appointed at the Volkswagen Arena late last season.
Now Diego is hoping for the chance to make his mark at the Vicente Calderon.
