Los Rojiblancos youth academy graduate followed in the footsteps of Mario Suarez as he signed an improved contract with the Vicente Calderon based outfit.
Atletico Madrid are betting big on the squad and what better way to improve it, than to turn up the contract that binds their stars to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon entity.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Pablo Simeone’s introduction to the managerial hot seat has seen contractual negotiations of Atletico Madrid stars get resolved at the first time of asking.
Los Colchoneros have dispensed off with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Domínguez-c5285, increasing the loan spell of prodigious Thibaut Courtois, while securing the long term services of Mario Suarez and Felipe Luis.
Youth academy graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Koke-c21262, joined the aforementioned list of players as he was given improved terms on his existing contracts. Koke got a handsome raise in his earnings as an Atletico player but the duration of his contract was unaltered, continuing to have a June 2016 expiration date.
Both Atletico Madrid and the player came understand the situation that there is a long time to go on his existing contract and they will have time to increase their years of association in the future.

"It's a dream. I've always wanted to stay at Atletico, which is my home."
