Raul Jimenez insisted he is happy at Atletico Madrid, despite interest from elsewhere.
Jimenez has been linked with a move away from Madrid after just one season in the Spanish capital, with Porto, Benfica and Granada reportedly interested.
The 24-year-old striker - on holiday after Mexico's Copa America campaign in Chile - plans to stay at Atletico.
"I'm really happy where I am, and eager to start getting more minutes playing time," Jimenez told La Verdad.
"But I'm sure that will come gradually and I can win a permanent place."
Jimenez added: "As it stands, I am an Atletico Madrid player.
"I'm on holiday and when I get back to Madrid I'm sure I'll find out a little more about my future."
