Scuffet rose to fame last season with Udinese as a 17 year-old with the youngster overtaking former first choice keeper Brkic as the man between the sticks for the second half of the season.
His performances have caught the eye of several teams, but it seems that he is destined to join Atletico who are going through a period of a small rebuild after Thibaut Courtois returned to his parent club Chelsea for good this time.
It is believed that the Spanish club will have a week to decide on whether to formalize the transfer according to Gianlucadimarzio and after securing the signing of young Benfica keeper Jan Oblak, they would most likely loan Scuffet out as he is a purchase for the future.
Spanish La Liga side Getafe is a likely destination for the upcoming season for the Italian youth-international with Granada now behind after initially being the leaders.
The boy who is hailed as the next 'Buffon' made 16 appearances in Serie A last season and will look to build upon that in Spain.
