Cerezo confident Atletico Madrid can keep Luis

Atletico Madrid president, Enrique Cerezo says he remains positive about Filipe Luis’ chances of staying at the club.

The 33-year-old Brazilian is in the final year of his contract with Los Colchoneros but, with a release clause of 30m euros, Paris Saint-Germain have been heavily linked with his signature.

Reports in both Spain and France have hinted at an exit and Atleti would have cover, with French World Cup winner Lucas Hernandez pushing for a first-team spot.

Cerezo seems keen to keep Luis at the Wanda Metropolitano and is confident he will stay beyond the August 31 transfer deadline.

“I believe Filipe will stay, but we have to wait,” Cerezo told Deportes Cuatro, as cited by Marca.

“Filipe Luis is a great player and a great person, we are trying to ensure he does not leave and you know that I always say the same thing – the players play where they want to play.

“We want him to stay, everyone wants him to stay, but the circumstances are the circumstances.

“I think he will stay but we have to wait for the last few hours, which are the ones that give you peace of mind, and above all wait to see what the outcome is.”
