Diego Simeone dodged questions over his rumoured transfer interest in son Giovanni as he put faith in Atletico Madrid's existing strikers.
Atleti slipped to a 3-2 friendly loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Monday, with Luciano Vietto and Kevin Gameiro both guilty of squandering chances.
French forward Gameiro last season produced his worst league scoring return in a decade with just seven goals, while Vietto netted only twice in a combined 20 La Liga appearances for Atleti and Valencia.
Their struggles come amid rumours Simeone is attempting to sign his 23-year-old son Giovanni, who netted 14 times for Fiorentina in his second Serie A campaign in 2017-18.
