Chelsea's former goalkeeper Edouard Mendy appeared to snub the club's owners this week.
The Senegal international has sent his formal goodbyes to the fans and club after completing a move to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
The Blues no.1 keeper a year ago, Mendy has now left Europe at the age of 31 to play in the Saudi Pro League.
On social media, Mendy wrote: Chelsea.
As I prepare to begin a new chapter in my career, it's hard to say goodbye. It has been an incredible three years wearing the Chelsea jersey, during which we achieved great success, including winning the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
I want to sincerely thank Roman, Marina (Granovskaia), Petr (Cech), Christophe (Lollichon, a former Chelsea goalkeeping coach), and the entire staff who made it possible for me to represent this prestigious club. I am thankful to my coaches and all the staffs for the invaluable lessons and growth I experienced.
A special thanks goes to all my teammates for the unforgettable journey we shared together. I also want to extend my deep gratitude to all the fans for their unbelievable support throughout my time at Chelsea.
Although it's time for me to turn a new page. I sincerely wish the club continued success with the new owners and numerous titles in the years to come.
Edou."
