Club captain Godin joined Atletico from Villarreal in 2010 and was a key part of their LaLiga title win in 2013-14 but confirmed in an emotional news conference his time at the club has come to an end.
The 33-year-old centre-back played for Atleti in Champions League final defeats to Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016, though he did win the Europa League twice.
“I’m going to leave Atletico Madrid. These are my last days here,” Godin said.
“Atleti have been my family, my club and my home, and it’s very hard to say goodbye.
“These have been wonderful years I have enjoyed a lot and I have grown as a player, but above all as a person.”
