Atletico Madrid coach Simeone urging Correa to stay

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admits he wants Angel Correa to stay.

The Argentina striker has offers from the Saudi Pro League.

After the Copa del Rey quarterfinal win against Sevilla, Simeone said: "We all love him very much, the club, the people... He makes himself loved.

"The other day I spoke with him and whatever he decides we will support him in his decision. And if he stays we will demand from him what we know he can give.

"It's difficult to put yourself in his role, always coming on as a substitute. And behind the footballer, there is a person who thinks he deserves another situation. I hope he stays because he has always given us a leap in quality.

"Let him decide what is best for him and we will follow him."
