"Today I leave with memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life."Representing this club has been an honour. None more painful than losing my brother, Diogo."Losing my father earlier this year was one of the hardest periods of my life but even through that hardship, my commitment to this club never changed.

During my toughest moments, I gave everything for the badge."To my teammates, coaches, staff and everyone behind the scenes, thank you for helping me grow every single day."And to the supporters...thank you for your love, your energy and your incredible support. Anfield is truly a special place and playing in front of you was something that I never took for granted."I am deeply saddened that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to all of you at my last game.

At that moment I didn't know it would be my final time wearing this shirt in front of you."From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. I love you all and will carry Liverpool with me wherever I go."This isn't an easy goodbye.
