The market closed and with some surprises for Atletico. Arsenal paid the 50 million of Thomas' exit clause, he now starts a new adventure in the Premier League.
After confirming his exit, Thomas wanted to say goodbye to the Atletico fans. He did so through social media.
"Dear fans, I have only words of thanks. For years, Atlético has been my home and a part of my family that will always be with me. I want to thank the club for their trust in me, but above all to you, the wonderful fans who accepted me from the first moment. Atlético is not only a club, it's a family. Thank you", wrote the number '5'.
Just a couple of hours after that message, 'Jugones' filmed Thomas at Cerro del Espino. He went there to say goodbye to the team and the coaching staff. A new life full of challenges and new experiences awaits him in England.
