Saul started Chelsea five times in 10 top-flight games. He only entered the starting XI once in the Champions League. played 75 minutes in a group stage match against Zenit St-Petersburg.
Chelsea have the option to make Saul permanent for 35 million euros. But the Blues have told Atletico they will not trigger that clause.
“Hello blues, I’m writing this to say goodbye to you. I wanted to tell you how I felt during this adventure. Things didn’t start off well at all. After a long time at home, changing things wasn’t easy,” Saul wrote on Twitter.
