Sergio Aguero ended speculation linking him to the Premier League on Monday by signing a contract extension that commits him to Atletico Madrid until 2014.
Premier League club Tottenham reportedly lodged a club-record 38.5-million pounds bid (?45 million; $61 million) for the Argentina striker, who agreed to a two-year deal.
Last week, Atletico said it turned down big-money offers from Chelsea - ?60 million ($82 million) - and Real Madrid - ?45 million ($61 million) - for the 22-year-old Aguero.
Aguero said his desire to remain with one of the world's best clubs inspired the extension, but wouldn't close the door on a future move.
''If I wanted to leave the club I wouldn't have re-signed with only 11 months until my contract expired, when I could have left for free,'' Aguero said from Vicente Calderon stadium. ''I'll leave Atletico when I want to leave.''
Aguero nor the club revealed the price of his buy-out clause, which was previously set at ?60 million.
''Now is not the time to talk about that. Like I always said, the day that I want to leave the club I'll take the decision, not my club nor my agent,'' Aguero said. ''I'm happy here. What's going through my head is to keep on doing things well so we can take points, which is what we need.''
Nicknamed ''El Kun,'' Aguero has been one of Atletico's few standouts in another inconsistent campaign.
The former Independiente striker - who joined the club in 2006 for ?22 million (then $28 million) - has scored 13 goals this season. Alongside Aguero, 20-year-old Atletico goalkeeper David De Gea has also drawn interest from Premier League clubs.
Atletico is seventh in the league standings, 10 points off a Champions League place.
