Piotr Zielinski bid an emotional farewell to Napoli on Sunday as he prepares to join Serie A champions Inter on a free transfer after running down his contract at the Diego Maradona Stadium. The Poland international took to Instagram to send a heartwarming message to the Patenopei faithful ahead of his switch to Giuseppe Meazza
“Napoli… my dear Napoli…” Zielinski wrote.
“After eight long years, we are taking different paths… you welcomed me when I was a kid and I leave as a man and a father. Naples was my home and will always be part of me and my family… I experienced unique and indelible moments that I will treasure in my heart.
“Napoli… you gave me so many friends who will be a part of my life forever. I thank you unique FANS with your huge heart. You made me feel a part of you.
“Together we won important trophies… then the Scudetto after 33 years. What immense joy to celebrate it all together… I will always be grateful to this JERSEY!!
“I thank the club that allowed me all of this and the staff who accompanied me on this journey.
“THANK YOU forever from me… Your ‘Napolacco’ ZIELU.“
Zielinski joined Napoli from Empoli in 2016. During his eight-year stint in Naples, the 30-year-old midfielder scored 51 goals and provided 46 assists in 364 appearances across all competitions. His exit may be the first of many at Napoli this summer
Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have made it abundantly clear that they want to leave Napoli. Victor Osimhen is another first-team star destined to cut ties with the Partenopei despite a lack of concrete offers.
