Luuk de Jong has made his choice: the 34-year-old striker continues his career with FC Porto. Sunday evening the PSV club legend was presented at the Portuguese club.
"This is not a goodbye but a goodbye," De Jong said in a first reaction towards the PSV supporters. "I will remain attached to this wonderful club, the most beautiful club in the Netherlands, for the rest of my life."
De Jong continued: "It was fantastic. Eight seasons. Five times champion, won the cup and numerous Johan Cruijff-Schalen. Unforgettable nights played in the Champions League, what an atmosphere. Goosebumps."
"I now choose a different challenge, I am an adventurer. Someone who, together with his family, seeks adventure. Someone who wants to experience the culture and sport in other countries. And hopefully achieve success there as well."
"PSV is forever in my heart. It is my home, your fans have always supported me in good times and bad. I gave everything I had in me for you guys and the club, every game 100 percent. Thanks to your support and passion we have experienced wonderful times together!"
"I want to thank your fans, all my teammates, people from the staff, management, all employees and volunteers. Times are very good now as PSV'er, together make sure it stays that way. Support each other and fight for each other. Because Unity Makes Power. Goodbye."
