“I haven’t spoken with him, but I know that the club is talking to his agent,” said the former Lazio and Inter midfielder.
“I’d be excited to have a player like Tevez as he is ideal for our style of play and our mentality.”
Simeone also revealed that his club are close to a deal for Villarreal forward Luciano Vietto, who is believed to be a target for Inter Coach Roberto Mancini.
“He is one of our objectives and we’re close to an agreement,” said Simeone.
“I hope to have him next season, because he’s a player with fantastic characteristics.
“I’ve known him since he was at Racing and it was me that gave him his debut, he reminds me a little of a young David Villa.”
