Juanfran: 'My future is with Atletico'

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has quelled suggestions that he could leave the La Liga champions this summer.

Arsenal have been credited with an interest in the right-back, who is currently on international duty with Spain ahead of the World Cup.

However, the 29-year-old has insisted that his future is with the capital outfit.

"There's a lot of talk [about my future]. My agent and president [Enrique] Cerezo know that for me, the most important thing is to stay at Atletico Madrid," he told Onda Cero.

"This is my home. I haven't rejected anyone, that's the truth. I know there was interest from Arsenal, just as there was last year, but there has been no offer of any kind. I feel Atletico 100%.

"When I left for the national team, Cholo [Simone] sent me a message saying he was very happy for me because I deserved it and I answered back that it's because of him. He trusted me from day one. Everything I have in football is thanks in part to Cholo Simeone."

Juanfran joined Atletico from Osasuna in 2011.
