  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim

  • Marquez is capable of playing anywhere in defence or midfield, and has become frustrated with his lack of playing opportunities at Barcelona.



    Aguirre is believed to be ready to spend £7 million to land the Mexican international.



    "It is not a secret to anyone that he is a very attractive player and that he is a reference point in the international game because he can play in different positions," the Atletico boss said.



    "Rafa, apart from being a friend of mine, is a great player. Any coach, because I am no expection, would want him."
