The Hispanic-Brazilian left an emotional message on social networks to say goodbye: “Good People … Athletic … today, with sadness, but at the same time happy, I come to say goodbye to all the Atleti fans, to all my people. Sad for not being able to become more part of this family, being in the day to day, but happy to have been part of it, of this great club.

Here I have lived difficult moments, from which I have always gotten up thanks to the help of doctors, physios and recuperators and my colleagues. And happy moments that are already in my memory and in everyone’s. But I want to tell you that I am happy to have been able to make history and put my little name on that of this great club. Something I always wanted but never imagined could happen.

I want to thank all the athletic, but I think My time came and that for me, as well as for the club, it was the best thing that could happen. I think it’s the best time for both of us, and the best way to help this team and the club. I’ve done my best, or at least I’ve always tried to do my best for this club and this jersey.

I want to thank my colleagues, doctors, physios and recuperators … they have been my family. I also want to thank the Technical Corps. And to the fans … just THANKS. THANK YOU and THANK YOU. It was always an encouragement. They always were, and always will be, a motivation. THE GREATEST THING HAS THIS CLUB. I had a dream … I saw how all the fans shouted the name of the great players who have worn this shirt, and I dreamed, and believed, and encouraged me to work towards someday deserving that they shout my name too.

I remember now moments in which the Calderón first, and the Wanda later, They have called my name, and I want to tell you that these are unique moments for me. Much more than titles, because affection, the human, will always be the most important thing for me. So … THANK YOU VERY MUCH FANS. I don’t want to say what everyone says when they leave a club. That of which I will be one more. No. I showed it on the field, I showed it in every game … I AM ALREADY FROM ATLETI. Now, with great enthusiasm, strength, desire and passion for what comes next, the next challenge“.
