La Liga challengers Atletico Madrid are expected to step up their pursuit for long-term target and Benfica attacker Nicolas Gaitan. The 28-year-old had been strongly linked with a switch away from Estadio da Luz last summer but a deal failed to materialise.
Since then, the Argentina international has kept up with his form for the Primeira Liga outfit thus leading to suggestions that he could seek a fresh challenge at a bigger club next term.
Atleti have been consistently performing in the Spanish league in recent season, and according to AS, the club will come up with a fresh charge for the versatile Gaitan.
Diego Simeone's side currently find themselves second in La Liga, while still vying Barcelona for a place in this season's Champions League semi-finals.
