Atlético Madrid are ready to make a strong attempt to sign Giovani Lo Celso, according to TyC Sport.
Diego Simeone is dreaming of landing the midfielder following his hugely successful loan spell at Villarreal.
The Yellow Submarine will not be making the move permanent giving Atlético a free pass to sign him.
Atlético want to back Simeone with Lo Celso
Atlético want to make another push to win La Liga next season and want to fully back Simeone in the transfer market.
Lo Celso is a player that the Argentine coach wants to sign and Atléti are set to make a strong attempt to get him.
Simeone believes the Tottenham midfielder could be an important part of his team next season.
Spurs also seem willing to sell the player having been in talks with Villarreal over a permanent deal.
Roig Negueroles: La clave es que el jugador está bien y feliz aquí, estamos muy interesados ya que es un jugador de primer nivel, pero es complicado. Es una operación muy complicada y puede pasar cualquier cosa. Queremos a Lo Celso, pero tampoco nos podemos cerrar en un jugador.
