NO DEAL! Diego Godin pulls back from penning Atletico Madrid contract

Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin is yet to sign his new deal.

AS says the hold up is due to Godin insisting his sister receive a broker's fee as part of the deal.

The deal is for €18 million over the following four seasons, €4.5 million a season.

He didn't sign the lucrative contract because, when the moment came to put pen to paper, Godín made a last-minute demand that the club pay his sister €1.8 million as a form of commission for the new contract.
