Juanfran confirms another year at Atletico Madrid LaLiga - Atletico Madrid "The signing will be sorted shortly"

A familiar face will be sticking around Estadio Wanda Metropolitano for another season as Juanfran announces his agreement on a fresh contract at Atletico Madrid.

As is normal for players over 30, the defender was only on a one-year deal this campaign and that has now been extended.

"I'm going to continue at Atletico," said the right-back after the victory over Sporting CP.

"The signing will be sorted shortly."

Following Thursday's win, all eyes are now on the short trip to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday for the derby with Real Madrid.

"I want to win on Sunday," Juanfran affirmed. "It is a very special match.

"[The win over Sporting] was a great result, the team did a great job.

"Let's now think about Real Madrid and the great game that we have to play at the Bernabeu, going there more united than ever to win.

"Winning a derby is very special. We are going to put all our heart into it and play to win, to get further away from third place and to be waiting on what Barcelona do.

"It will be decided in the details. We cannot go to the Bernabeu thinking that we will stay second even if we lose. We are winners."
