Former Inter wing back Cristiano Biraghi sent a message to the Nerazzurri fans in a post on his Instagram page yesterday.
The 28-year-old Italian returned to Fiorentina after spending a season on loan in Milan. Contracted to the Viola until 2022, the Florence based club didn’t want to renew his loan spell as they wanted him in the squad for next season.
The player made 37 appearances for the Milanese club last season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists in that time.
Biraghi sent a long message to fans, saying: “To have worn these colors for me was an honor and a privilege. To have played in the team of my city, the team for which I have always supported.
“It is useless to hide feelings, especially when you turn a page. This great opportunity ends after a year, which I am convinced I have honored in the best way.
“Wearing this jersey, playing at San Siro, contributing to the growth of a great team has a special flavor. An intense season, always lived to the max, using all my energy.
“I would have liked to have been able to celebrate with a trophy, we just came very close. It would have been a dream.
“I have 12 fantastic months left in my heart. I am left with the colors, the strong emotions, the unique sensations, the 3 goals and 7 assists and even the time on the bench.
“The fans, in whom I have always reflected myself. Going from the stands to the field is a step that not many have had the honor to take.
“I have had this privilege and I will always be grateful for it. For this I thank everyone, no one excluded, for this beautiful opportunity.
“Now we turn the page again, with the same enthusiasm, the same desire and even more ambition. But always with Inter in my heart.”
