Mattia Caldara has publicly thanked Atalanta for their 'support and patience’ as he prepares to leave his boyhood club for Juventus.
Caldara will finally become a Juve player this summer, 18 months after he was transferred to the Bianconeri in a deal rising to €25m and loaned back to Atalanta, qualifying for the Europa League and earning Italy Under-21 recognition in the process.
“October 2, 2016. It all started that day, an unforgettable match that changed my life and our season,” wrote on Instagram.
“In these two years, we shared joys and defeats, but your support has never failed us. Yesterday I was lucky enough to wear the captain’s armband,
“It was exciting and I hope I honoured it. Many people have written to me, thanking me for our season, but in reality I want to thank you all for the love you’ve always shown me.
“I was lucky enough to grow up at a club who have always been patient with me, even when it seemed I wasn’t ready for this level.
“Credit must go to the Percassi family and all the Coaches who helped me grow, and I’ll never stop thanking you. Mattia.”
