Angel Correra’s Atletico Madrid farewell was so surprising that the club even had to make a statement about it.
The Argentine spent time with the fans at the Metropolitano at the end of their final home game of the season – a 4-1 LaLiga win over Real Betis.
Later he took to social media to clarify he was leaving, saying: “Today I experienced my last home game wearing this shirt that I love so much.
“It wasn’t just a day, it was a collection of memories, emotions, and gratitude. Thanks to the club, to my teammates, to these incredible fans who always made me feel like one of them.
“I will take every applause, every ovation, and every moment in my heart. I will always be grateful for everything I experienced at Atleti. Thank you for so much!”
However, the announcement was clearly news to Atleti, who have gone to the lengths of reminding Correa he still has a contract.
“Given the doubts that arose at the end of yesterday’s match against Real Betis at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, the club wants to clarify that Ángel Correa currently has a contract with Atlético de Madrid until June 30, 2026,” they wrote on their club website.
“No club has contacted us to begin negotiations for a possible transfer of our striker, nor has his representative made us any offer for the Argentine international.”
