Left-back Atletico Filipe Luis confirmed that in the summer he asked the leadership of the "mattresses" to let him go to Paris Saint-Germain, but denied that he insisted on a transfer.

"There was this opportunity with PSG. I spoke with Atletico and asked to let me go, as they recently released Gaby, "said Luis.

"But the club understood that these are different situations. In my case, before the closing of the transfer window, there was little time left, and it would be difficult to find a replacement for me.

When they said they did not want to let me go and set up a price tag that another club would not pay, I accepted this ".

"They said that I insisted on the transfer, but it's a lie. With Atletico I'm connected by history, so I was upset by this lie. They tried to blacken my image. This is my eighth season in Atletico, I spent over 300 matches here and I do not intend to ruin my story ".

Earlier it was reported that in the winter, Filipe Luis could move to the Arsenal.
