"It is difficult to find the right words to greet you, there are so many years and so many emotions involved, all together," he said in an emotional Instagram post on Sunday.
"I thought we would have been together even more years, but fate puts us on different paths.
"I will never forget everything you made me experience, every game, every goal.
"With you I grew up, I learned, I lived and I dreamed. It has been seven years of magic, 12 trophies and 115 goals that no one will take away from us. Never.
"Thank you for supporting me in difficult times. Thanks to those who have accompanied me over the years: from the first to the last, from the fans to the people who work within the club, everyone, coaches and teammates, employees and managers.
"Wearing this important jersey together with the captain's armband has been one of the greatest pride of my life, which I hope to show to my children and grandchildren someday."
