The defender himself issues an emotional message to the club, saying: “Thank you so much to the club for giving me the opportunity to be part of the big Atlético de Madrid family. Thank you to my teammates, who treated me so well from the moment I arrived. Thank you to captain Koke, who, from day one – even before we knew each other – came to visit me and made me feel as if I were living a dream. Finally, thank you to the fans for the immense affection they have always shown me and for giving me goosebumps so many times. They are the best in the world. I will always keep supporting this club. ¡Aúpa Atleti!”
