The Liga giants want to bring Luis back to the Calderon despite selling him to Chelsea for around £16million last season.
Chelsea are understood to want £14m for the Brazil international.
"There are negotiations in place but I don't know how fruitful they will be," Cerezo said.
"Filipe Luis is a magnificent player.
"We would be delighted if he comes back and I think that in the end, we will find a solution.
"As always, the financial aspect takes precedence over the sentimental aspect but I believe a deal can be reached."

Chelsea have already been forced to sell one player before making a move in the transfer market after seeing Petr Cech depart to Arsenal for £10m.
In turn they bought Stoke's Asmir Begovic in an £8m deal, while Radamel Falcao's loan move marks the only other bit of incoming transfer business for manager Jose Mourinho this summer.
