Atletico Madrid winger Maxi Rodriguez has rebuffed rumours that he might leave the Los colchoneros.

Speaking to AS, Maxi said: "Since I went on vacation the rumours haven't stopped but I kept quiet. Hopefully I can continue for many years with this club."

The Argentine international also has his priorities set out, focusing on the football itself rather than deals.

"I don't worry about a renewal. My intention is to play well and be at a high level. Today I don't care about the contract," he continued.

The 28-year-old also was also prudent on their return leg against Panathinaikos in the Europa League.

"We must go out with a winning mentality. Panthinaikos is a very dangerous opponent, they will come here with nothing to lose. We must not relax," Maxi cautioned.
