Atlético Mineiro Director of Football Eduardo Maluf says that the club have not received any offers for Argentine striker Lucas Pratto. The Argentine’s future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks, with Palmeiras said to be very interested.
The current Brasileirão champions are looking for a replacement for Gabriel Jesús and are said to be sizing up Pratto. But at the official presentation of new boss Roger Machado, Maluf said that Galo have not received any offers.
“We haven’t had a proposal for any player. Palmeiras is speaking through the press, but officiallyno bid had arrived. The transfer window has opened now and I believe that bids will really begin to arise, because we have valuable players.
“We have a squad in which no one is irreplaceable. If we get a proposal and understand that it is money that Atletico cannot turn down, any player leaves. We do not die of love for anyone. We treat Atlétic in a professional way.”
