Gabi renews Atletico deal

Atletico Madrid captain Gabi has extended his contract with the club to 2018 ahead of Los Rojiblancos stadium move next summer.

The tough-tackling midfielder who has spent nine years at the club across two spells, has expressed his desire to continue to win trophies whilst the club goes from strength-to-strength.

"It’s a great challenge to be able to be in the team when we move to the new stadium.

“A new and exciting stage starts for the club and being the captain of the first team in a moment that will go down in history is a source of pride for me.

"I am very happy to continue one more year at home. I always say that playing with Atlético de Madrid was my childhood dream, so I cannot ask for more than what I am living these years.

“I also want to thank the fans for their unconditional support both for me and for the team."
