Bolton are confident of beating Benfica to Real Madrid starlets Marcos Alonso and Rodrigo Moreno.
The Spain Under-21 internationals, who will cost around £5million, have indicated they would rather move to the Premier League than play in Portugal with Benfica, despite their offer of Champions League football.
Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside has discussed the pair with Real's sporting director Jorge Valdano at the Bernabeu and hopes to resume negotiations early next week.
Boss Owen Coyle has monitored full-back Alonso and striker Rodrigo since the end of last season and has watched them play for Real's second string Castilla.
