AS has revealed that Atletico Madrid are ready to return for Wolfsburg midfielder Diego Ribas da Cunha.
The Brazilian playmaker had been made one of club’s top targets this summer, but the club officials opted to shelve talks for Diego while they were looking to sign a perfect replacement for Radamel Falcao.
Having signed David Villa from Barcelona at a cut-back price, los Colchoneros are now ready to resume negotiations for their former player.
Diego is eager to return to Vicente Calderon after spending the 2011/2012 season there, but his €5 million yearly wage could prove to be obstacle to any deal.
Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid chiefs are hoping the appeal of Champions League football will prove enough for the player to accept a pay cut and facilitate a move to Madrid.
Diego, 28, has continued with impressive performance after returning to Wolfsburg, managing 10 goals and 6 assists in 32 Bundesliga games last term.
