Some players chase trophies across Europe. Koke just keeps renewing his contract at the only club he has ever known.
Jorge Resurrección Merodio, universally known as Koke, has triggered an automatic renewal clause in his existing deal with Atlético Madrid, extending his stay at the Metropolitano through 30 June 2027. The 33-year-old captain is now locked in for at least one more season beyond his previous extension, which had already pushed his tenure through June 2026.
For context, Koke made his first-team debut for Atlético in 2011. He has been there ever since.
More than 700 appearances and counting
Koke is Atlético Madrid’s all-time leader in first-team appearances, having crossed the 700-appearance threshold since coming through the club’s academy system.
