Turkish TV station NTV is reporting that Atletico Madrid are on the verge of securing a deal for Galatasaray defender Semih Kaya.
Los Colchoneros are short of options in the heart of defence following the departure of Toby Alderweireld and they appear hot on the trail of the Turkish defender.
Atletico Madrid chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin has already visited Istanbul to negotiate a January transfer with Galatasaray chiefs, and NTV believes an agreement is on the horizon.
Manchester United are another side showing interest in the Turkey international, but los Colchoneros clearly have the upper hand at the moment.
Semih Kaya, 23, has been a star performer for Galatasaray for several years now, making 92 league appearances, while featuring in 18 Champions League matches.
Defending champions Atletico Madrid play host to Espanyol at the weekend hoping to put extra pressure on their title rivals, with home win paying 1/3.
