Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez says he want to stay at Atletico Madrid - but is eyeing a new deal at the Spanish club,
Saul, 22, is starring for Spain at the Euro Under-21 Championships in Poland, and scored a hat-trick in their semi-final win over Italy.
The all-action midfielder has been linked with a summer move away from Atleti however, with both Manchester United and Barcelona said to be eyeing the Elche-born star.
Saul has a deal with Atleti until 2021, and has sought to play down rumours he could switch in the near future, for the second time in 24 hours.
But he did state he is looking for a new contract, at a time when Atleti are under a transfer embargo.
“I am happy at Atletico and I feel valued but everyone would like to earn a bit more money to be able to help out the family," Saul told reporters in Poland.
“I’m fine at Atletico. I don’t want to leave. It was hard to get the confidence of Cholo [Diego Simeone] and now that I have it, it would be very difficult to start from zero at another team.
“I don’t see myself outside Atletico, something very surprising would have to happen.”
Saul's comments come after president Enrique Cerezo ruled out selling the young star.
"Saul is a very good player and he has a long-term contract at Atletico," Cerezo said.
"I don't think he has any agreements with other clubs, or anything like that. Saul is at Atleti, and he won't be going anywhere."
