Atletico Madrid Coach Diego Simeone has refused to rule out his side doing any further business in the January transfer window.
Los Colchoneros have already signed prodigal son Fernando Torres and Cani this month, but speaking ahead of their trip to Barcelona in La Liga tonight, El Cholo remained open to the idea of more incomings and outgoings.
“I won’t rule out any more signings or sales,” he told reporters at a Press conference.
“I’m only focusing on the players who want to be here and are excited to compete at Atletico, with strength, energy and enthusiasm.
“When the market closes, we’ll be happy to close this issue.”
Simeone then heaped praise on centre-back Diego Godin, who is set to start for Atleti against the Catalan giants.
“He’s one of the most difficult players to replace due to his place in the pecking order, competitiveness and ability to play within the team,” he added.
“Diego’s very consistent, a tough feat for a centre-back. His poise allows him to occupy the most important place in the team.
“Beyond his footballing ability, we deeply appreciate him as a person. We wholly identify with his way of interpreting the game.”
