Atletico Madrid are reportedly considering bringing in defensive reinforcements during the January transfer window.
Los Rojiblancos are not expected to make any major changes to the mid-season market, but one or two new faces could arrive in the Spanish capital.
With three competitions to fight for in the coming months, squad depth is crucial to Diego Simeone's overall plans, and he could launch another transfer attack on the Premier League.
Simeone is rumored to have been an admirer of Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell for years, with the England international impressing at Selhurst Park.
The latest update from the Daily Mirror indicates that Atletico Madrid's interest in Mitchell remains strong, but his contract with the Eagles runs until 2027, and not 2025 as previously reported.
Besides his contract problem, the other major stumbling block for Simeone comes from renewed interest from leading Premier League sides, who can also offer 25-year-old European football without leaving Britain.
