Atletico Madrid, working on renewal for Manchester United and Juventus target Gimenez

There was strong interest from top European clubs - namely Juventus and Manchester United - but it seems Atletico Madrid defender José Gimenez was always destined to remain at his current club. They are working on tying him down right now, as discussions continue, and a renewal is imminent. The Uruguayan will receive a new five year contract, taking him through 2022. The negotiations could be closed very soon, as after the Copa del Rey match Gimenez said himself, "my mind revolves only around Atletico Madrid. I've never thought of leaving, I fully identify with this club." The story now looks set to continue.
