Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone could not rule out selling Martin Demichelis to Manchester City last night.

The Argentine is a £3 million target for City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who worked with the defender at Malaga.

Asked about City's move, Simeone said: "Until you close the transfer deadline, you may be hearing things, but until anything is official or not, I do not want to talk about it."
