Diego Simeone reacts to Alvaro Morata links to Atletico

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has refused to confirm his interest in Alvaro Morata. The Chelsea striker has emerged as a possible target for Atletico. However, Simeone is giving nothing away. “I don’t speak about players that aren’t with us, only those that are,” said Simeone. “I can’t confirm or deny anything because coaches wait to see what the club can do. Some players want more minutes, some could be sold by the club, some could arrive. We need to wait until January 31.”

Manchester United told to spend £100million for this defender and persuade De Gea to stay
