Thank you, Reinildo!
The entire club would like to thank him for his dedication and the effort he has shown throughout his time at Atleti, and we wish him the very best for the future.
Reinildo Mandava will embark on a new chapter in his professional career and no longer wear the Rojiblanco colours after his contract expires on Monday 30 June 2025.
The Mozambican defender leaves our club after four seasons, during which he made 103 appearances across LaLiga – where he scored two goals – the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and the Club World Cup. During his time at Atlético de Madrid, he showed real heart and determination in overcoming the serious anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered to his right knee in January 2023.
“Thank you so much to the club for giving me the opportunity to be part of the big Atlético de Madrid family. Thank you to my teammates, who treated me so well from the moment I arrived. Thank you to captain Koke, who, from day one – even before we knew each other – came to visit me and made me feel as if I were living a dream. Finally, thank you to the fans for the immense affection they have always shown me and for giving me goosebumps so many times. They are the best in the world. I will always keep supporting this club. ¡Aúpa Atleti!” Reinildo told our website.
