Atlético de Madrid has reached a agreement with Stefan Savic to extend his contract for one more season. The Montenegrin arrived at Atlético de Madrid in July 2015 from Fiorentina. And now he has signed a new contract that will join the rojiblanca entity until June 30, 2024.
Since his arrival, the role of the center-back has changed a lot. Little by little he has been gaining the trust of Simeone and now is one of the undisputed in the eleven. The Balkan made his debut for Atlético on September 22, 2015 against Getafe, with a 2-0 victory. Since that match has played 202 games, of which has won 117, losing only 14% and scoring three times.
Savic was a fundamental piece in achieving the Europa League and the 2018 European Super Cup. In the League achieved last season, the Montenegrin made an amazing leap in quality, standing out as one of the best centrals in LaLiga. His performances were key to establishing a solid defense in which he was the absolute leader.
Heading into the new season, Savic must show the same stripes as in the previous one. Solid in defense, marking the line and creating dangerous situations in set pieces in the rival area. For Simeone, having Savic in the eleven is synonymous with commitment and reliability.
