Despite the mounting interest from across Europe, Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has made it clear that the club are in no mood to sell. Using a characteristically blunt tone, Cerezo reminded suitors that the power lies firmly with the hierarchy in Madrid given the length of the player's current deal.
"If a player is under contract with a team and still has many years left on that contract, well, you tell me what might happen. In that case, you might as well think I'm God, and until I tell him to leave, he's not going to leave," Cerezo stated this week.
