Koke prepared to extend Atletico Madrid deal

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has revealed that he wants to extend his current deal at the Vicente Calderon.

The Spain international is contracted to Atletico until the summer of 2019, but the midfielder, in addition to praising head coach Diego Simeone, has confirmed that he would be interested in signing another extension.

"I have a contract. It runs until 2019 and so I will fulfil that until 2019. And if the club wants to, we will talk and it will be renewed," Koke told Goal.com.

"[Simeone] is fundamental to the club. Ever since he arrived, he has changed the mentality of everyone. He has always had a positive attitude on a day-to-day basis and that is key for us. We work match by match and I believe that is what has made us get to where we are today."

The 24-year-old came through the youth system at Atletico and is fast closing in on 200 La Liga appearances for the Madrid giants.
