Simao Surprised By Chelsea Rumours

The new Chelsea boss is reported to be keen on starting negotiations for the 24-year-old, who has a release clause of €40 million attached to his contract at Atletico Madrid.

Simao and Scolari know each other well from their time together in the Portuguese national team setup, which is all the  more reason that the 28-year-old winger has suggested he would know if there were any validity to the reports.

"This is a surprise to me," said Simao to the Spanish press when pressed on the Chelsea rumours.

"Scolari said nothing to me when I was with Portugal but this is significant as it means the work I have been doing at Atletico is positive."

Earlier this summer, Simao reportedly rejected a move to FC Porto on an exchange deal with Ricardo Quaresma out of respect for his former club Benfica.
