The agent of Croatian defender Sime Vrsaljko admits that he 'does not know' whether Atletico Madrid will look to sell his client this summer.

The agent of Croatian defender Sime Vrsaljko has admitted that he 'does not know' whether Atletico Madrid will look to sell his client in this summer's transfer window.

Vrsaljko has made 23 appearances in all competitions for Atletico during an impressive 2017-18 campaign.

The 26-year-old continues to be linked with a move to Juventus and Napoli, however, amid suggestions that he wants to return to Italian football this summer.

Giuseppe Riso, who represents Vrsaljko, has claimed that a number of things could occur at the end of the season, even hinting at a possible Premier League move.

"Right-back is the most sought-after role in the world," Riso told Radio Crc. "Napoli and Juve are looking for right-backs, but that's the case pretty much everywhere in Europe and that's why he didn't leave in January.

"Sime loves Italy, but the Premier League is fascinating for everyone. I don't know if Atletico will sell him though, they'd have to find a replacement and that's not easy."

Vrsaljko moved to Atletico from Sassuolo in the summer of 2016.
