He said, "We are currently discussing a new contract with Atlético. I want it to be fixed before the Euro Cup.
"The objective is to stay. I feel good and so does my family."
The 35 year-old added, "It is true that since Cholo put me back in the centre of the defence, in my head I no longer have the idea of playing in the centre of the field again. Today it is clear to me: I am a defender and I am more comfortable in this position."
