Schalke star Ivan Raktic is excited by interest from Atletico Madrid.

The Croatia international is a Bosman target for Atletico, with his contract due to expire in June.

"Do I like Atletico? Of course," Raktic told AS.

"They're one of the biggest clubs in Spain and any good player would like to play there. The club, the city and the fans are fantastic and it's a compliment for any player that Atletico are interested in him."
