Sime Vrsaljko confident of Atletico Madrid stay in 2020-21

The Croatian international returned to the Spanish capital last summer following a season long loan spell at Serie A giants Inter Milan.

However, following the arrival of England full back Kieran Trippier 12 months ago, the 28-year old made just five league appearances in 2020-21.

Despite speculation both he and Santiago Arias could leave the club this summer, Vrsaljko told an interview with Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti, reported via Diario AS, he wants to stay in Madrid.

“Atletico will fight for all major trophies this season, as all great clubs do,” he said. I do not listen to rumours in the media. I want to dedicate myself to the season ahead at Atletico".
