Griezmann has been in outstanding form for Atletico this season, with his 12 goals in La Liga helping the club mount a serious title challenge.
The 24-year-old has reportedly attracted interest from other top clubs, but Cerezo confirmed no-one has put in a bid for the forward.
"Griezmann is a global football star," Cerezo told RMC.

"Griezmann has a long-term contract, and no-one has spoken to us about a possible transfer.
"He is a world football star and he still has plenty of time with us.
"And Atletico will allow him to go as high as possible."
