'Theo Hernandez to Real Madrid? People need to get serious!'

With the starlet's future a hot topic ahead of the Madrid derby, Enrique Cerezo has laughed off talk of a move to his club's rivals

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has categorically denied reports that Real Madrid could buy Theo Hernandez, saying "people should be more serious".

The full-back is spending the season on loan at Alaves, but reports ahead of this weekend's Madrid derby in LaLiga have suggested that Zinedine Zidane's side could trigger a release clause in his contract.

'I'll watch Madrid derby if I don't nap!'

But Cerezo says such rumours are common place ahead of clashes between the rivals and vowed to fight to keep the France youth international when he returns to Atleti.
