Castillejo on Atleti speculation

Malaga starlet Samu Castillejo has distanced himself from talk of a move to Atletico Madrid but admitted "you never know what the future holds".

The 20-year-old winger has enjoyed a breakthrough season, establishing himself as a first-team regular at La Rosaleda, before debuting with Spain Under-21's on Saturday against Norway, helping La Rojita to a 2-0 victory.

"Playing for the Under-21s was a dream and the truth is that I fulfilled it quite well," he said after the game.

"I felt good during the 65 minutes I played. I think the fans enjoyed our performances.

"Also, we got a good result, which was important because we wanted to start [the year] with a win.

"Right now, all dreams have been fulfilled. I debuted in La Liga with the boyhood team and now with the Under-21s.

"It's a dream and I have to keep on fighting in order for things to stay like this.

"For now, my future is clear [with Malaga]. You never know what the future holds, but I've always said that I'm happy with my team."
