Simeone after Gayà

'Superdeporte' claim that Diego Simeone has asked specifically for Gayà. The Argentine wants to add the defender to his squad.

Gayà is a left-back - a well-filled position at Atletico Madrid. 'El Cholo' has Filipe Luis and Lucas Hernández, who have alternated in previous seasons.

The Spaniard is under contract with Valencia and has a release clause of €100 million. At Valencia, he is one of Marcelino's regulars and one of the team's leaders.

It will have to be seen if, as the Valencian press points out, Atletico Madrid contact 'Los Murciélagos' over the player.
