José Luis Palomino has bid farewell to Atalanta after 7 years of dedicated service.
The Argentine defender received an emotional send-off from the Curva Nord, Atalanta’s passionate supporter base, on his departure after seven years of significant achievements.
Despite the somewhat unexpected nature of his exit, the Atalanta faithful did not waver in their heartfelt farewell.
Standing outside the Curva Nord, Palomino expressed his gratitude. “Leaving Atalanta is a bittersweet moment for me,” said Palomino, speaking directly to fans. “I have immense respect and love for this club and its supporters.”
The defender’s words were met with applause and chants from the crowd, underscoring the strong bond between him and the fans.
“This is not just a club to me; it’s been a family,” he added. “I will always cherish the memories and the support you’ve given me.”
The response from the Curva Nord was equally emotional, as banners and songs filled the air in a touching display of appreciation.
Atalanta fans will undoubtedly miss Palomino, whose presence in defence has been a cornerstone of the team’s success over the years.
As the crowd dispersed, the sentiment was clear: Palomino’s contributions to Atalanta would not be forgotten.
