Diego Simeone has assured Atletico Madrid he remains "identified and committed" to the club despite fears of a number of high-profile departures this summer.
Los Rojiblancos are set to lose big names in Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Diego Godin and Filipe Luis at least (the latter two on free transfers). However, Simeone told reporters after Tuesday's 2-1 friendly loss to Beitar Jerusalem that he would not be heading for the exit:
"I like my job. I feel very identified and committed to the club.
"I know that year on year it's always more difficult, and that makes us see our real selves and generate enthusiasm.
