Atletico Madrid captain Gabi has penned a new deal.

Uncapped by Spain at senior level, Gabi remains integral at Atletico and the 33-year-old was due to lapse out of his current deal next summer.

That is when Atletico are due to leave their Vicente Calderon stadium to switch to the Estadio La Peineta.

The LaLiga leaders said in a statement: "The red and white captain signed his new contract, which extends until June, 2018, so he will be a part of the team that will inaugurate our new stadium next season."

Midfielder Gabi said: "It's a great challenge to be able to be in the team when we move to the new stadium. A new and exciting stage starts for the club and being the captain of the first team in a moment that will go down in history is a source of pride for me.

"I am very happy to continue one more year at home. I always say that playing with Atletico Madrid was my childhood dream, so I cannot ask for more than what I am living these years. I also want to thank the fans for their unconditional support both for me and for the team."
