Malaga are reportedly interested in signing Rayo Vallecano forward Alberto Bueno at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has been one of La Liga's standout forwards this season, with his 15 league goals leading to a host of interest across Europe.
Napoli and Wolfsburg have both previously been linked with the former Real Madrid youngster, but according to La Opinion de Malaga, Malaga have emerged as the favourites and will make an official offer at the end of the season.
Bueno, who moved to Rayo from Real Valladolid in 2013, was reportedly close to being named in Vicente del Bosque's latest Spain squad.
