Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin has revealed that Real Madrid and Chelsea both offered big-money for striker Sergio Aguero but both were turned away at the door.Gil Marin says that Madrid came in with a €45 million offer for the Argentina international striker while Chelsea made a bid of €60m for Aguero and defender Diego Godin.
"Yesterday I received an offer of €45 million from Real Madrid for Aguero and I said no," Gil Marin told Spanish daily AS.
"This week, Chelsea offered us €60 million for 'Kun' and Godin and our answer was the same.
"I will not negotiate with Real Madrid or any other club for Aguero now or in the summer."
Chelsea Deny Making €60m Bid For Atletico Madrid Duo Sergio Aguero And Diego Godin
Chelsea have denied making a €60 (£52) million joint-bid for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero and defender Diego Godin.
Miguel Angel Gil, the Spanish club's CEO, claimed the Premier League champions had made the huge offer for the pair.
But the English club claim to have made no such enquiry for the highly-rated duo, describing the story as 'wild.'
"We never comment on transfer speculation, no matter how wild it is," a club sokesperson commented to Press Association Sport.
Aguero has been linked with most of Europe's heavyweights over the last two years, but has repeatedly stated his loyalty to the club.
Godin on the other hand, is less well known to those outside Spain, but recently performed admirably at the heart of Uruguay's defence at the most recent World Cup, and has been at Atletico for little over half a year since his move from Villarreal.
Gil, who is no newcomer to a little controversy, also claimed recently that Atletico's city rivals Real Madrid offered for the Argentinian international, mentioning that the club were willing to part ways with £39m.
