Diego Simeone refuses to comment on incomings

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone hints that he will not target a new striker this summer, despite speculation to the contrary.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has refused to discuss his transfer plans for the summer window.

Upon extending his Atletico deal until 2020 on Tuesday, the Argentine was asked whether he wanted to improve his forward line for the 2015-16 campaign.

However, Simeone has insisted that his main focus is on improving the strikers that he already has.

"We're not thinking about next season's squad but about improving [Fernando] Torres. In continuing with Raul Jimenez, looking at why [Mario] Mandzukic is eight goals behind his best, getting more from [Antoine] Griezmann. These are the players we're looking at," Simeone told reporters at his official press conference.

Atletico have been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani.
