The Atletico president has threatened Barcelona over the French forward

It was a busy day at Atletico Madrid on Thursday as they presented new record signing Joao Felix, who joined the club from Benfica this week for 126 million euros. 

The Portuguese attacker arrives as the replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who's set to sign for Barcelona, and Atletico president Enrique Cerezo took the chance to have a dig at the Catalans. 

Cerezo has been at daggers with Barça since Griezmann announced in May that he would be leaving Atletico. 

Despite the fact, in June, Atleti CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin assured the France star would move to Camp Nou next season, the reality is one month later it's still not happened. 

After saying he didn't know if Griezmann would move to Barça, Cerezo did threaten the Spanish champions at Felix's presentation on Thursday. 

Asked about the possibility of the operation being closed in March, the Atletico chief told Onda Cero: "If that is true, that would have consequences." 

Cerezo added that all paths "point to him moving to Barcelonna, but I think we're going to find out in the coming days for sure."
