Atletico Madrid 'not in Gonzalo Higuain race'

Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta insists that Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain is not a transfer target for the Spanish outfit.

Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta has insisted that Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain is not a transfer target for the Spanish outfit in this summer's window.

Atletico have been strongly linked with a move for the Argentine international over the last couple of weeks and it was reported last week that Diego Simeone had called on club president Enrique Cerezo to sign the forward.

Berta, however, has claimed that Napoli "can be calm" because Atletico are not in for the 28-year-old, who set a new Serie A goal record last season after hitting 36 in the Italian top flight.

"At Napoli they can be calm, he will not come to Atletico," Berta told CRC.

Higuain, who is currently on international duty at the 2016 Copa America, told Napoli supporters to "remain calm" when questioned on his future at the weekend.
