Cerezo confirms MARCA report: Atletico Madrid can't sign because of the salary limit LaLiga Optimistic nevertheless

Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that Atletico Madrid won't be able to sign in the January transfer window due to the salary limit.

MARCA had already reported the information, but the Atleti president has now reinforced what was published.

"We can't sign," Cerezo said. "We have to sell someone to sign someone because of the salary limit.

"But we have a fantastic team."

Atletico were due to take on Villarreal in Miami this season, but it was ruled that the game couldn't be played in the United States.

"The [Spanish Football] Federation, LaLiga, UEFA and FIFA have to agree," he said when asked about the situation.

"Then they have to tell us what to do."
