Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin is happy he stayed with the club over the summer.
The Uruguay international was linked with a move away during the close season.
"From the moment I arrived here I felt, due to the papers, that there were offers. I never knew anything. This year it's true people checked my situation, but I'm quite clear about it: with the backing of Cholo, with what he says about me, with what the President tells me, with what the fans give me and with the feeling I have for this club, it's hard to leave.
"It's true that football is a job and one works to earn money, but when there are so many feelings involved, it's hard to change clubs just to earn a bit more cash. I respect every player and their decisions, but that's my feeling, I decided to stay and hopefully I'll be here for many years."
