It was a tough decision, but it just feels like the right time, not just for myself but for the club as well," he said in a statement to club media.
"I've been in talks with Roberto (De Zerbi) for the past couple of months and he expressed his wish for me to stay and keep playing.
However, after taking a little time to think about where the football club is at, and having been away from my family for the last four years, I just feel it's the right time."
