Jose Manuel Jurado is leaving Atletico Madrid for Schalke.
Jurado is moving to Schalke for a fee of €11 million.
"The offer was too good to refuse and there are times when you cannot say no. The club is very happy and me too, so there has been no problem. Schalke is a very good step in my career, I will try to do my best there and I hope it's a see you later, not a goodbye," he said.
"It was difficult [leaving] because everyone has treated me very well. The fans have always treated me very well."
