Reports coming out of Spain that he's agreed to join Atletico on a free at the end of the season when his contract expires.
I mean he divides opinion amongst the fan base some think he's amazing others think he's rubbish I sit somewhere in the middle.
I wouldn't have a problem with him moving on if it meant giving Mourinho £20-30m to spend on replacements but to lose him on a free seems pointless, could be pure rumour to try and speed up his contract but talk of a new deal has gone very quiet. The good news is he apparently has an automatic 1 year extension clause in his deal.
I don't think he's part of our first team plans going forward in terms of being a nailed on starter but he's certainly a good squad player.
