Dutch-Ghanaian footballer, Memphis Depay has said goodbye to Atletico Madrid following the expiration of his contract.
Depay and the Spanish club have decided to go either ways after spending 18 months with the Rojiblancos.
He is expected to find a new club as a free agent before the start of the 2024/25 football campaign.
The forward joined the Rojiblancos from Barcelona in January 2023 and became a key figure in Diego Simeone’s team.
“Not easy to say how I feel about writing this message because I feel that things could’ve been very different. Maybe it’s better to keep that conversation for another time,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“To Atletico Madrid, my teammates, the staff and especially the fans, I wanna thank you for the energy and support I’ve experienced in my time being an Atleti player I keep the good memories close to my heart. Gracias. Aupa Atleti!,” added the Dutch international.
Born to Ghanaian parents in Mordretch, Depay spends most of his time on vacation in Ghana.
He joins the Holland national team this summer for the European Championship in Germany.
