Nonsense written in the press

"Three weeks ago I arranged a meeting with the club to let them know about my situation. I was told that the club didn't want me to leave - so I didn't push the matter any further. I'm fine where I am here at Atlético", the player explained. Filipe Luis, whose contract is due to run out next June, received an offer from PSG for two years with the option of a third. With their squad already closed, Atlético named their price to set him free - 30 million euros. Not only is Filipe a key player for El Cholo, releasing him late in the window would have left Atlético little time to find a substitute.
