No bids for Atletico pair

No bids for Atletico pair

Atletico Madrid general manager Miguel Angel Gil has insisted the club have not received any offers for either Diego Forlan or Sergio Aguero.

The striking pair have been linked with moves away from the Vicente Calderon this summer amid reported growing interest.

Both players are said to have been targeted by a number of top European sides, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea linked with Aguero while Forlan has been mooted with a move back to England.

But Gil said in AS : "We have not received any offers for Aguero or Forlan. That is the truth.

"We are aware of the reports in the newspapers but no offer has been tabled."

However, Gil did explain that the club's future is not held in just one player's hands - comments that will unlikely quell lingering transfer speculation.

He added: "Nobody is indispensable. The club is more important than the players and our project is not based around one footballer."
