Atletico Madrid boss Simeone coy over move for Chelsea striker Morata

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone was tightlipped on Wednesday night about a move for Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

After drawing 1-1 in the first-leg of their Copa del Rey clash with Girona, Simeone was asked about the rumours.

"The only thing I'm thinking about is the upcoming match against Levante," he said.

"I don't speak about players that aren't with us, only those that are.

"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."
