Luis Enrique and the background to the transfer market: “I was close to Atletico, but I was already in talks with Roma”

The PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to Sky Sports ahead of the match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. In his interview, the Spanish coach also told a background story regarding the Colchoneros and his moments at Roma:

“Atletico Madrid has changed over the years, what remains constant is the team’s performance. They are very recognizable for the style that the coach transmits to them. It will be a tough challenge because Atletico are difficult to face also thanks to their personality which Simeon transmits to him”.

Hierarchies in goal? Is Donnarumma undermined by Safonov?
“When players sign for a club they have only one obligation, to be ready when I choose them. Tomorrow we will see if Safonov or Donnarumma will play.”

Transfer chapter: when he signed for Roma, was he also close to Atletico Madrid?
“Roma arrived first, there had been contact with Atletico Madrid but I already had a verbal agreement with Roma and I respected my word.”
