Koke: Why should I leave "Atletico"?

"Atletico" Madrid defender Koke is ignoring rumors linking him to the Premier League and insists he does not want to leave his current club.

Foreign media had reported that the Spaniard is interested in the new Manchester City strategist Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, who will become the coach of Manchester United.

The 24-year-old footballer has played more than 250 matches for "matraci" since 2009.

"Being an 'Atleti' player is the best thing that can happen. I must stay with 'Atleti' in both good and tough times," Koke said on the Onda Cero show Al Primer Toque.

"'Atleti' is special. It's a family where everyone supports each other."

"I'm not looking for more money, I'm happy where I am - at home."

"I represent a team that has taken care of me since I was very young. Often, you don't leave the club because of money."

"During the hundred-some years, Madrid's 'Atletico' has been one of the best."

"How could I leave? Why would I want to lose all of this?"

This season, Koke played 50 matches in all competitions, scoring five goals and providing 17 assists.
