Signed from Inter Milan back in 2015, the 24-year-old has struggled to nail down a regular place in the Spanish giants’ team given he is competing against the likes of Toni Kroos, Casemiro and international teammate Luka Modric for a place in the starting eleven.
Although there is no choice in his loan deal to make a move permanent, the highly-rated player seems to have made it clear on Twitter that he won’t be returning to the Spanish capital.
“After three years filled with trophies I have decided to move on,” he wrote.
“Even though are paths now separate I want to say big thank you to @realmadrid family and all the fans for an amazing part of my life I will never forget. #HalaMadrid.”
