Diego Godin has announced he will be leaving Atletico Madrid this summer

The Uruguay international, a hugely popular figure among supporters and his team-mates, arrived from LaLiga rivals Villarreal in 2010, featuring 387 times for Atletico since then.Godin, who turned down a move to Manchester United last summer in favour of signing a contract extension, played an integral role in Atletico clinching a first La Liga title in 18 years back in 2014.Addressing the audience of his decision, he said: “I’m a little nervous, much more than I am before a game, but I have called everyone here to inform you that these are my final days at the club.“This isn’t just a club for me, it’s also been my family and it’s very hard to say goodbye.“I refused a Manchester United bid one year ago because I decided to stay at Atltico Madrid. Now one year later its time to go.”2

Godin, 33, won two Europa Leagues, the Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and three Uefa Super Cups with Atletico.He was also part of the team which reached the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals, losing both times to arch nemesis Real Madrid.Atletico president Enrique Cerezo added: “We are here to say goodbye to an Atletico legend.“You have been a vital part of this great era for the club, with your efforts and your goals, like the one which gave us the title at the Nou Camp. “You have fought in a thousand battles and defended the club’s shirt in every game and you have worn the captain’s armband.“Wherever you end up, Atletico wishes you a lot of luck. Atletico is your family, the Wanda Metropolitano is your home.”Inter Milan are the favourites to sign the experienced defender, who will not be without his fair share of admirers, on a free transfer.
