Axel Witsel is calm about his contract situation at Atletico Madrid.

The veteran midfielder, 34, comes off contract in June.

It's the last year of my contract, let's see what happens. I don't have the key to the situation, but I'm very happy here," he said.

When I arrived here, I did so as a midfielder. But, in the end, after I spoke with 'Cholo', he was right.

"At my age, playing in this position, I can play for more years at this level in defence."
