He confirmed that he didn’t leave to Milan and that he received no offers for him.

"Maniche is our player and he is training here. If his agent is trying to bring us an offer we will study and see then," Cerezo said on Thursday.

“For me the best thing is that we started the season with 24 players and we should end the season with 24 players. We signed Maniche because we thought that he was a great player and we continue to think that," added the Atletico supremo.

Atletico Madrid signed the 30-year old midfielder two years from Dinamo Moscow for $24m.
