Atletico Madrid has denied receiving a bid from Liverpool for striker Diego Costa, according to reports in Spain.
The Reds were believed to have tabled a £22m offer last night for the Brazilian, with boss Brendan Rodgers looking to beef up his strike force.
However, the AS newspaper in the Spanish capital claim Atletico have rubbished the reports emerging from England, which suggested Liverpool’s bid had triggered the 24-year-old’s release clause.
The news is likely to cause confusion among Liverpool supporters, who have been assured by Rogers the club are still in the pursuit of transfer targets, especially with the future of centre-forward Luis Suarez shrouded in uncertainly.
However, the Northern Irishman yesterday also insisted he wouldn’t be spending his transfer funds simply for the sake of it, saying each of his summer deals would be well considered.
The Reds have already made four signings in the current transfer window, with Simon Mignolet, Iago Aspas, Kolo Toure and Luis Alberto all moving to Merseyside.
