Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has confirmed that the club are in talks with Juventus striker Carlos Tevez.

The Argentine said that his compatriot's agent has spoken to representatives at the La Liga outfit, and described him as a "perfect" addition to his squad.

"I know the club is speaking with his agent," The Mirror quotes him as saying.

"It is always good to have a player like Tevez. He is hot-blooded, which is a healthy part of this sport, and that is aside from how many goals he is able to score in a season.

"He would be a perfect signing considering the football that Atletico Madrid play."

Tevez scored 29 goals in 47 games for Juve last season, helping the Old Lady to a league and cup double.
