Edinson Cavani's mother Berta Gomez has hinted her son could still join Atletico Madrid in the summer, but wants their president Enrique Cerezo to apologise first after a potential January deal for the player fell through.
Atletico looked almost certain to sign the 32-year-old in the winter transfer window, and Cavani had reportedly said goodbye to his PSG teammates as he prepared for the move.
The switch collapsed at the last minute, however, after Cavani's brother and agent Walter Fernando allegedly wanted Atletico to pay an additional £15m.
Speaking about the situation Cerezo said: "I don't want to point anyone out, but I think it's a shame about the situation of some players with their relatives and their representatives. It's outrageous. We're not here to be robbed or do anything strange."
Cavani could still make the move in the summer, with his contract with PSG set to expire in June.
Speaking to AS, however, Gomez said her son would not be joining Diego Simeone's side unless Cerezo apologised for his comments.
"It's not impossible that Edinson could go to Atletico Madrid in the summer, as long as the president rectifies what he said," she said.
"The president of Atletico must apologise. We are not spiteful and everything can be fixed if he retracts what he said. My son is going to have offers, it is unquestionable because he is a proven forward, as he has shown in all these years.
"But he keeps thinking about being able to go to Atletico because he would like to play under Cholo (Simeone)."
Cavani returned to the PSG side in their most recent game against Montpellier, coming off the bench with 20 minutes to go, and he could yet return to being an important part of Thomas Tuchel's squad despite his limited playing time so far this season.
