Atletico Madrid have opened the bidding for Liverpool and Manchester United target Yusuf Yazici.
The two Premier League giants as well as AC Milan and Monaco are keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old Trabzonspor star.
But now, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, it is Atletico whose interest is at the most advanced stage after they lodged a bid for the youngster.
Trabzonspor are in no hurry to sell the promising midfielder but Atletico have tested their resolve to keep him with a £12.4m offer.
Yazici made his league debut during the 2015/16 season and has since racked up 31 appearances, scoring six times.
