Atletico Madrid expects to separate this summer with different players, but they hope that one of them is not a club captain Koke Resurreccion, which has been associated with the end of his 25-year-old association.
Koke has had a rolling one-year contract for several seasons, and with the 2024-25 campaign, it will soon be announced whether he will stay at the club where he first made in 2000.
In January it was reported that Atleti was willing to leave the decision to Koke, and it seems that they have now seen enough to determine that their skipper wants to stay 12 months because Marca has reported that contract negotiations are being realized by the club's sports department.
Atleti wants Koke to continue as a club captain for at least one season, and they continue to see him as a crucial player in the dressing room despite his drop in minutes compared to the 2023-24 campaign.
Koke has accepted his position as a team player, although it is still to be seen whether he will do this for another season where his minutes can be reduced when Athleti completes their mission to sign a new defensive midfielder.
It will be very interesting to follow the situation with Koke in the coming weeks. Atletico Madrid proposes these contract interviews, but there is no guarantee that they will be successful. However, it would be a surprise if the 33-year-old would run away from Los Colchoneros before he was no longer necessary by Diego Simeone and the rest of the first team staff in the Metropolitano.
