“I have decided never to disappoint you every time I wore the Inter shirt.
“I gave 100% of myself every day in every training but especially in the matches to make you happy.

“I hope you understand my decision to move to Chelsea. It’s the chance of a lifetime for me and I think at this moment in my career it’s the chance I’ve always dreamed of.
