Denis has already had a successful spell with El Rojo, scoring 37 goals in 70 games between 2006 and 2008.
The striker had tearful goodbye to the Orobici this weekend.
“This is just an arrivederci. I know that I’ll be back. I thank the club, my teammates, the fans and the entire city of Bergamo.
“I want to enjoy these final moments in the stadium. It is the right time though for me and my family to return home. I leave Bergamo only so I can go back home.”
