After 23-games, Another 27-year-old player confirms Chelsea exit
Saul Niguez, who is currently on loan from Atletico Madrid, has stated that he will leave Chelsea at the conclusion of the season.
However,Niguez’s contract at Stamford Bridge was slated to expire at the end of this month, according to Transfermarkt. However, the 27-year-old has announced he will leave the Blues ahead of the 2022-23 club season a few weeks ahead of schedule.
Saul Niguez wrote on his Twitter account:
“Hello blues, I’m writing to take my leave of you. I would like to tell you how I felt during this adventure. Things didn’t start well at all. After a long time at home, changing everything wasn’t easy. (…)”
The Spaniard continued: “Little by little things got better. Everything in life serves to improve and learn, and that’s what I take from this adventure.I’d like to thank the club for trying to take care of every detail to make me feel at home. I’d also like to give recognition to each worker, thank you.”
Niguez went on to add:
“Thank you for making this club much bigger. Thanks to all the fans for supporting me through thick and thin. I will be forever grateful. Thanks to all the staff for making it possible for me to win titles with the blue shirt.”
He concluded:
“But above all, I wanted to thank my treammates. They have been fundamental so that I wouldn’t fall apart. They helped me to continue supporting the team and live a calm and positive day to day. Thank you! @ChelseaFC”
However, the Spaniard slowly became a useful rotation option for Thomas Tuchel’s side. He ended the season with 23 appearances for the Blues in which he scored once. His only goal was a crucial equalizer in their 3-2 win against Luton Town in the FA Cup.
