Atletico Madrid are still on the hunt for a central midfielder in the closing stages of the transfer market. On Tuesday, Diego Simeone said that he was hoping for one more player to come in, and despite Chairman Enrique Cerezo declaring that there would be no more business, Los Rojiblancos continue to move in the market.

Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat was the preference for Diego Simeone, but Fiorentina have rejected their loan offer for the Moroccan, as they have a loan with a mandatory buy clause agreed with Fenerbahce. It looks as if Getafe have rejected a loan offer for Luis Milla too.

As per Diario AS, Atletico are still trying to secure exits for left-back Javi Galan and Thomas Lemar, which could also give them more money to go after a midfielder too.

Manchester City’s Mathues Nunes is an option on loan, as is Paris Saint-Germain’s Danilo Pereira. However the one player Atletico have moved for is AC Milan’s Ismael Bennacer, requesting a loan move from the Rossoneri.

AC Milan exec Baresi: This Champions League will be different

The Rossonero legend concedes they're unsure of what to expect.

Baresi said after last night's draw:  "We are all curious to see how it will go, it's all new and different. We have to think game by game because every game will be important, as will the goals scored. We will have to be careful, the goal difference could be fundamental and therefore playing at the Bernabeu or not playing at the Bernabeu changes something.

"Milan must think about winning both in Italy and abroad. Then it's true that Milan has a culture, a philosophy based on playing important matches in Europe. But we must always do well. Having players with international calibre is obviously a pleasure.

"You have to think that you need to get as many points as possible because you never know how it can go. The general classification forces you to deal with everyone, so you will need to try to always do your best."
