“This little Australian girl could never have dreamed of this.
“By saying that, I have learned in my career that football does not always go as we plan and that, due to the limited number of foreign players in Spain, it is time for a new adventure.
“I will carry the friendships I have made with me for a lifetime. Muchas gracias por todo. Hala Madrid, siempre.”

Raso played 28 games for Real Madrid between 2023 and 2024, scoring four goals.
The Matildas star has also had stints in the WSL for Everton and Mary Fowler’s Manchester City.
Before coming to Europe, she spent several years in the A-League Women over three different years, making 72 caps in three seasons for American side Portland, plus a shorter cameo for Washington in 2015.
Raso played 87 times for Australia and scored 18 goals.
And while she may be at the forefront of her club, she will still be a key part of the Matildas’ Olympic campaign in the coming weeks.
Coach Tony Gustavsson has laid out his meticulous and ruthless game plan to get the Matildas ‘flying’ ahead of their all-important Olympic opening match in Paris against Germany.
Australia’s golden generation is determined to come away from these Olympics with a medal, after finishing fourth in Tokyo and at last year’s World Cup.
That mission begins with a tough group stage campaign against Germany on July 25, Zambia on July 28 and the United States on July 31 (all local time).
Gustavsson has carefully planned to have his squad of 18 players, plus four reserves, fit and ready for the tightly compressed tournament – which could be his last at the helm.

But because his players are spread around the world, with different schedules and workloads, Gustavsson’s schedule must also be flexible.
The season is still underway for San Diego Wave duo Emily van Egmond and Kaitlyn Torpey, as well as Sweden-based Clare Polkinghorne, while Raso has completed her season with Real Madrid.
England-based stars Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, Mary Fowler, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Mackenzie Arnold, plus defenders Ellie Carpenter and Clare Hunt – who play their club football in France – recently concluded their season.
A-League Women trio Cortnee Vine, Michelle Heyman and Tameka Yallop all finished more than a month ago.
“It looks very different for each individual,” Gustavsson told fans at a Vivid Sydney forum.
“Some players have stopped playing for eighteen months in a row.
“They need a mental break or a bit of a physical recharge to get back into what we call a gap plan, which means there is a gap between this national window and us coming into the next FIFA window – and that gap is very individual.
“Some players have a break and then an individual run-in program, so that they are fit on July 1 and train very hard.
“Some players are actually in the season, like the players from the US and Sweden, who went straight back to the league and are playing and will come to camp.
“Some players are the opposite, meaning they finished the season almost two months ago and haven’t played consecutive football for a long time.
“So they all have individual plans, and we’ll get together in a pre-camp in early July.”
