Rome, 21 May (LaPresse) – ‘Today is a very sad day for me because I am saying goodbye to this wonderful journey and to the marvellous Lazio family.’ Thus begins a long letter in which Spanish striker Pedro announces his departure from Lazio, who signed him on a free transfer from Roma in the summer of 2021. “I would like to thank all the fans, the players, the coaches and the whole club, including staff and supporters, for allowing me to be part of this club’s glorious history. It is true that I have not brought trophies to this place, which I consider a wonderful home, but I have always defended this shirt with courage, humility, ambition and passion, alongside my teammates. I am sure that we will soon be celebrating something important with these great men and players. Every time I stepped onto the pitch, I looked up, proudly admiring our fans,” says Pedro in the letter via a video message on his social media channels. “Every emotion I’ve felt, every unforgettable goal, every song we’ve sung together are moments that will remain etched in my mind. The match against Pisa will be my last in this shirt; I look forward to seeing you all at the stadium and hope you can be there for me. But I also understand that this year has been difficult and complicated for everyone; I fully respect your decision. It has been a true honour to wear this shirt and this crest on my chest; I wish the very best to the whole Lazio family, and I will always carry the club in my heart. One of you, always forza Lazio,” concludes the Spanish striker.
