Always the players can have the opportunity to leave.“We always want to compete with the best and those that we consider that can make the team good and keep it growing.”Asked again about Costa’s punishment over the ban, Simeone added: “I was clear at the start.“It is an internal issue and has been resolved internally and is now resolved. “It is an internal issue and we resolve it internally. In the family when situations happen they are resolved without telling anyone on the street.”Atleti can boost their chances of finishing second in La Liga, above city rivals Real Madrid, with a win on Saturday.“It will be a hard game like all against Eibar,” Simeone added.“They are the one who presses in the best way among the rivals in Spanish football.“Drowning the exit and trying to make mistakes. We know about their characteristics and will try especially at home to do it in the best way.”
