Following confirmation of his permanent transfer to Empoli, now former Inter striker Davide Merola has taken to social media to bid farewell to the Nerazzurri.
“Yes, after 8 years I find myself writing this and thinking about all the moments I have had for this great team, Inter. It is difficult for me to express all that has happened but I know for sure that all of it has made me grow both as a player and as a man,” he started a heartfelt post to Instagram.
“In the past few days I have experienced mixed feelings. On the one hand I am very much looking forward to the new adventure that awaits me and I am ready to give my all to reach new goals but on the other hand I feel a great lump in my throat as I am leaving.
“First of all, I want to thank my truly unique teammates who have always supported and encouraged me even in the most difficult moments.
“A special thanks must go out to the club which I was able to win several honours with at youth level and where I was able to realise one of my great dreams as I made my debut in the Europa League at San Siro. Thanks again to all the people involved at the club. I wish to say thanks to the fans as well for their nice words.”
He concluded: “A new challenge begins with new goals to achieve, I am ready to get stuck in, show what I can do and grow.”
