No offers for Aguero, Forlan – Atletico president

June 16, 2009

MADRID (AFP) – Atletico Madrid’s president said Monday he has received no offers for Argentine star Sergio “Kun” Aguero, a reported target of Chelsea, or Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan.

“No club or representative has come to us,” said Enrique Cerezo. “We have no offers for our players.

“We don’t want to sell, the idea is to make a great team,” he said.

British media reports last week said Chelsea had launched a 45-million-pound (53-million-euro) bid to sign the 21-year-old Aguero, who scored 17 goals last season to help Atletico claim a place in the Champions League.

Cerezo said he had not heard from Real Madrid’s new president Florentino Perez, despite Spanish press reports the club was interested in Forlan, the top scorer in the Spanish league last season.

Atletico qualified for the 2009/2010 Champions League by finishing fourth in the league.
