Chelsea target speaks out about future: Blues have been tracking him for ages
ATLETICO MADRID midfielder Koke insists he has no plans to quit the club this summer amid reported interest from Premier League side Chelsea.
Koke wants to stay at the Vicente Calderon despite interest from Chelsea
Koke, 24, is said to be on incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte's wish-list for the summer transfer window.
He has a £48million release clause, which Chelsea refused to meet in 2014 when they went in for him.
But the London Evening Standard claims Chelsea will make another offer come July - although the player has hinted he wouldn't be interested in switching even if the clause was met.

Chelsea are understood to be pursuing a number of midfield targets, with Roma's Radja Nainggolan and Miralem Pjanic on Conte's radar.
The Italy head coach, who will take over at Chelsea after Euro 2016, is also said to be keen on Juventus' Paul Pogba and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.
