Atletico Madrid Skipper Koke Signs New Contract Until 2025

Koke's previous contract would have expired at the end of this season.

The 32-year-old has the option to extend for a further year when his new contract comes to an end.

Koke has spent his entire career at Atletico Madrid, making a club-record 626 appearances.

The Spain international has chipped in with 47 goals and 116 assists during that time.

“It is the club’s most golden era,” Koke said in a statement.

“I have had many opportunities to leave here, my home, and I have not wanted to. How could I leave at the best time, when it is most enjoyable. 

"Although you have to be there in the most difficult moments, you also have to know how to enjoy the good ones. It is a huge pride to be captain of Atletico in this beautiful period. I have been able to repay Miguel Angel Gil and the club for the great effort they made for me as a junior. 

"More than a memory, I will take with me my teammates, Gabi, Juanfran, Godín, Simeone, the people… I want to return to Neptuno with the fans. 

"We have reached a good agreement for both parties to be able to continue here until practically the day I can retire. Atleti is my life”.

Koke has won two La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and one Copa del Rey during his time with Atletico.

He has been capped 70 times by the Spanish national team.
