VILLA LA رATA, Argentina (Reuters) - Argentina's presidential front-runner Daniel Scioli said improving an offer to creditors suing the country over defaulted bonds would not be a priority if he wins an Oct. 25 election.

Whoever succeeds outgoing President Cristina Fernandez will inherit Argentina's long battle with "holdout" investors who rejected its debt restructuring following a 2002 default to seek full repayment in the courts instead.
