Former Real Madrid striker Jose Callejon has sent a message of thanks to the club´s staff and fans following his switch to Seria A side Napoli.
The 26-year-old forward completed the move to the Italian side, managed by Rafa Benitez, earlier this week, ending his second spell at the club.
The striker rose through the ranks at Real Madrid Castilla before being sold to Espanyol in 2008. He was signed back three years later in a 5.5 million euro deal but failed to break into the first team picture under Jose Mourinho.
Callejon said in a statement posted on the club’s website that he was grateful for the support he had received during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The statement read:” I would like to send this message to everyone who supports or is involved in Real Madrid. It is not a message of goodbye, but one of thanks and until we meet again. I thank this wonderful club and its supporters for the understanding, support and affection they have given me.”
He also thanked the staff, from the President to the unknown members of staff, for all their help.
“I would like to say a special word of thanks to all those who work for Real Madrid, from the President down to the staff and coaches and to all those who work behind the scenes, who the public don’t know but who are always there,” he said.
