The 33-year-old would not confirm his next club but indicated regret at not being able to agree a new contract. Godin has made 381 appearances for Atletico and remains a key figure in the team, but the Uruguayan has rejected offers to extend his contract, which expires on June 30. After a disappointing season, Lucas Hernandez has already agreed to join Bayern Munich, while uncertainty hangs over the futures of Filipe Luis, Juanfran, Thomas Partey, Saul Niguez and even Antoine Griezmann.
“But we could not reach an agreement so I have decided to leave. There’s nothing more to it than that.”
