Filipe Luis, Juanfran and Godin free to negotiate with other clubs LaLiga Santander - Atletico Madrid All three see their contracts end in June

Filipe Luis, Juanfran and Diego Godin will all be able to negotiate free transfers away from Atletico Madrid with any club they like from the first day of 2019, with their current contracts set to expire on June 30.

Los Rojiblancos find themselves in this rather uncomfortable situation after, particularly in the case of the Brazilian, not being able to agree terms for new deals.

Beyond what happens with their contractual situations, these are three Atletico icons who have made history on the pitch for the club, but three players who also hold power in the dressing room.

In fact, they are the only players, alongside Koke, who have been at the club since Diego Simeone's arrival seven years ago (though Filipe did spend a season at Chelsea in 2014/15).

That one season in London means the full-back cannot claim a part in each of the seven titles won in the Simeone era, missing the Supercopa win over Real Madrid.

He had participated in both the Europa League and European Super Cup wins, the Copa del Rey crown and even the LaLiga Santander title.

What is certain for Atletico is that they will face a changing of the guard in defence, the area that has been so key to their successes under Simeone and, as a result, it will not be easy to replace them.

Failing to extend their deals beyond this season, Atletico will have to hope that their players can help them in their final chance to win the Champions League in red and white shirts.
