Diego Godin signs Atletico Madrid extension, will remain until 2019

Centre-back Diego Godin has signed a one-year contract extension with Atletico Madrid, the club announced on Thursday.

The Uruguayan's new deal will now keep the 2014 La Liga champ in the Spanish capital until 2019.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone told reporters in June that Godin was not for sale this summer. And Thursday's new deal ensures the rangy South American has a long-term future at the Vicente Calderon.

In addition to winning the 2014 La Liga title, the influential defender has won a King's Cup, a UEFA Europa League, two European Super Cups and a Spanish Super Cup with the club.

Godin has played 212 games for Atletico de Madrid, scoring 18 goals in his career with the Colchoneros.
