Atletico Madrid tell Filipe Luis: "Bring the money and go"
The club want him to stay but the left-back's keen to acept PSG's offer
"Bring the money and go." That's what Atletico Madrid have told left-back Filipe Luis, who has a tempting offer on the table from Paris Saint-Germain. Atletico, despite wanting the keep hold of the Brazilian, say that if he leaves the would expect at least between 20 and 30 million euros.
According to Diario AS, the player's manifested his desire to leave, but president Enrique Cerezo will not let him go easily, especially not to PSG, who denied Atletico the chance to sign Thiago Motta last year.
Filipe Luis' exit, if not now, could happen in December. According to AS, both parties are in agreement to wait until the winter to do a deal, given there's little time for Atletico to find a replacement.
PSG have guaranteed the full-back a spot in their team, with Yuri moving to Athletic Bilbao and Kurzawa failing to convince new coach Tuchel of his worth.
Filipe Luis trained on Wednesday with the substitutes, but on Thursday was back with the first team. Despite Cerezo's comments ("I'm optimistic. I think he will stell, but we have to wait and see."), the defender's future could be in France with his compatriots Neymar, Thiago Silva, Dani Alves and Marquinhos, be that sooner or later.
