Atletico Madrid continue their search for a strike partner for Mario Mandzukic and are keen on someone who can also play out on the wing if necessary. In the offices at the Vicente Calderón there exists a list of important players that fit the bill, but one name stands out ahead of all the others - that of former Real Madrid player, José Callejón.

The current Napoli player fits perfectly with the requirements Diego Simeone has laid out to fill the attacking position. And the club has wasted little time in contacting both the Italian side and the player himself to find out what the situation is concerning the coming season.

It is said the player is very receptive to the idea as it would mean a return to Madrid and La Liga for him, but more importantly because it would bring a move to a team that can fight for trophies.

However, the management at Napoli are not keen to see the player leave San Paolo and will not make it easy for Atletico to get their man.

Atletico are ready to push hard for a player that guarantees around 15 goals a season and have offered €20 million to the Serie A club. For the time being at least, that is not enough for the Italians who will look for a higher offer before talking business.
