Argentine appreciates interest from other clubs

 

 Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero has underlined his commitment to the club amid rumours of an imminent departure this summer.

The striker has been linked to a host of Europe's top clubs, including arch-rivals Real Madrid, and had a bid for his services from Tottenham turned down late in the January window.

But the Argentine has pointed to the fact that his deal with Atleti runs for another three years and he he says would like to build on their Europa League success from last season.

He told the club's official website: ''I want to stay with Atletico for as long as I can. I am very comfortable at the club now. I will try to keep winning titles here because that's what every player wants. I signed until 2014 and I hope to stay beyond this year."

On the speculation over a possible summer transfer, he responded: ''It's always appreciated if top clubs are interested in you. There are many comments that have been raised about my future but I'm quiet, they don't affect me. I'm honest with myself.''

Aguero has been linked with a move away from the club for some time now, with father-in-law Diego Maradona on record as saying that he sees him playing at Real Madrid n the future.

Despite the speculation, Aguero is enjoying a fine season, netting a brace last weekend to take his tally for the year to 18 goals, ensuring Atleti are in contention to clinch a Europa League spot for next season.
