Simeone aims to keep Luis at club

– Brazilian leftback Filipe Luis, reportedly coveted by Paris Saint-Germain, is an “extremely important player” for Atletico Madrid and “one we want to keep,” coach Diego Simeone said yesterday.

“I always want the best for the players who have given us everything, but now we are focused only on the game against Valencia,” added Simeone ahead of Atletico’s opening league game today. –
