Diego Godin announces Atletico Madrid departure

Diego Godin has announced he's leaving Atletico Madrid for Inter Milan.

On Tuesday, he confirmed he would be leaving the club after nine years there.

The defender said: "It's been my club, my home.. I've grown as a player, and more importantly as a person, and enjoyed these incredible years so much. It's difficult to say goodbye to your home. I'm grateful and will remember all those wonderful years we've had together.

"The values my parents taught me I've tried to show on the pitch. We've enjoyed some great moments together and some not so great moments."

And he continued that despite heading elsewhere, he would still be "another fan" of Atletico.
