Diego Simeone has told Atletico Madrid chiefs to secure the signing of AC Milan winger Suso once their transfer ban lapses, according to Spanish publication AS.
The former Liverpool attacker has scored five goals and registered six assists so far for the Rossoneri this season in just 14 appearances.
Simeone is determined to strengthen his attacking options following speculation linking star man Antoine Griezmann with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United.
Atletico can only enter talks with the Spaniard from January 2018, however, due to FIFA having imposed a two-window transfer ban for breaching rules over under-age players’ transfers.
