Juan Cuadrado has left Juventus as a free agent when his contract was allowed to expire, but assures ‘it will never be a goodbye’ to the Bianconeri.
The Colombia international had discussed a potential new deal, but was unable to agree terms and has now left after eight years in Turin.
Cuadrado said farewell on his Instagram feed and began the message by quoting the Juventus club anthem.
“History of a great love. That is what today closes for me after 8 seasons with the Juventus jersey.
“We won and celebrated together, united to overcome difficult moments too. Always and only to defend this legendary Bianconeri jersey.
“For all these special moments, I want to thank the fans and the club, a big family who never let me be without affection and respect.
“And now, after 314 games and 11 trophies lifted to the sky glorifying and honouring God, the moment has come to salute you, even if it will never be a goodbye to the Bianconeri.
“Thank you Juventus, it was great! To the end!”
He first arrived on loan from Chelsea in the summer of 2015 and eventually made the move permanent in 2017 for a total of €26.8m.
