Manchester United, Manchester City and other Premier League clubs have reportedly been dealt blows in their pursuits of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguay international is expected to be at the centre of a large-scale transfer tussle this summer after amassing 33 goals from 39 games for Benfica so far this season.
Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Newcastle United have all been linked with moves for Nunez, while Bayern Munich have also been credited with an interest.
However, Mundo Deportivo now claims that Atletico Madrid are at the head of the queue for the attacker, with the La Liga champions enjoying a good working relationship with Benfica.
The report adds that Atletico could try to sweeten the deal by including Gil Vicente winger Samuel Lino, whom they are being tipped to sign in the summer transfer window and who is admired by Benfica.
Nunez is nonetheless expected to leave Benfica in the summer transfer window but would supposedly command a fee of €70m (£58.9m) from interested parties.
