Alvaro Negredo on Atletico radar

Atletico Madrid are weighing up a summer move for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, reports Estadio Deportivo.

Seeing as how Radamel Falcao Garcia looks set to leave the club in the summer, los Colchoneros have already started search for his replacement.

They have been linked with a number of players in the past, but it appears Sevilla star Alvaro Negredo is the most realistic option.

Negredo, 27, is seen as one of the most prolific goalscorers in Spanish La Liga and he would need virtually no time to adapt to the new surroundings.

Another good thing is that Sevilla are forced to sell in order to balance the books, which means the player is likely to be available at a cut-price deal.

Negredo has been in fine form this season, scoring 20 goals in 32 league matches, taking his total goal tally in La Liga to 98.
