Tiago ends Chelsea rumours with new Atletico Madrid deal

Tiago Mendes has signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid.

Tiago has re-signed with Spanish champions Atletico for another two years, ending speculation he could return to Chelsea and the Barclays Premier League.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "The club offered me the chance to renew my contract.

"I felt proud because we had had an incredible season, but I had thought it was the right time for the cycle to come to an end.

"I have been offered the chance to play in various international leagues and have taken some time to evaluate my options during the summer, but my final decision became clearer, and Atletico was the only option."
