Orlando City signing Luis Muriel has posted an open farewell letter to Atalanta.

La Dea sold Muriel to Orlando for €1m.

The Colombia has now written an open letter to Atalanta: "Dear Atalanta fans, I couldn't help but say hello and thank you before starting my new adventure in America.

"I would have liked to do it in person, but there wasn't time to plan a goodbye because as soon as the OK arrived I had to leave to do the medical visits with my new club before signing.

"We'll find a way to see each other before long, when I return to Italy. Both I and the club want it. However, I really wanted to thank you now for the foour and a half wonderful years that I lived in Bergamo also thanks to you. You have always supported me and conveyed great affection and warmth. I felt loved as a footballer but also as a person. I will never forget you."

Then in another passage he added: "Together we experienced beautiful, unforgettable emotions and did great things in Europe and Italy together with the Percassi family, Mister Gasperini and all my splendid companions. Bergamo will always remain in my heart, like a second home. Thank you for all the messages of affection these days, I hope you will follow me with sympathy also in my new adventure in Orlando. I will always take you with me. Thank you very much. I hug you all.

"See you soon and go Atalanta!!!!"
