Benfica winger Simao Sabrosa admits he's flattered to be linked with Atletico Madrid.

"The interest of Atletico Madrid is a pride for me, but really I have not spoken to anybody about this subject," Simao told the Portuguese press.

"I only have the news that is in the press.

"Now I am happy in Benfica, but if an interesting offer appears it is normal that anything is possible in the world of football."
