"Atletico": Koke - not for sale

"Atletico" club president Enrique Cerezo assures that rising star Koke will not be sold this summer. After a successful season, the 22-year-old Spaniard became one of the most sought-after targets for European giants. Recently, there has been much talk that Koke could replace Cesc Fabregas, who is rumored to be leaving, in Barcelona, but the "Atletico" management categorically denies any possibility of selling the Spaniard. "He is our player and will remain so. Other clubs are well aware of that," warned E.Cerezo potential buyers. "We are a stable club that does not need to sell players. And I assure you that Koke will continue to wear the 'Rojiblancos' shirt. There is nothing more to add." The president of the Madrid team also asserts that the central defender duo of Diego Godin and Miranda will stay in the team, but left-back Felipe Luis may leave. "It is very difficult to find a defensive pair like Godin and Miranda, so they, like Koke, will stay in the club. If Felipe Luis leaves, we have planned to replace him with Guilherme Siqueira. If anyone leaves, we will try to replace that player with someone better," E.Cerezo declared.
