Leandro Castan took to his official Instagram to bid farewell to Roma. The Brazilian leaves Trigoria after having arrived in 2012. Castan will sign with Brazilian side Vasco de Gama, however, he took his time today to say goodbye to the Giallorossi. Here is an excerpt of his farewell:
“The day to say goodbye has arrived, today I have ended my contract with Roma after 6 years. I arrived here as a boy filled with dreams, it was a so-so first season but then my Brazilian national team debut arrived, then in the second season I thought of the biggest dream: the Scudetto, but we faced a difficult opponent (Juve), and then I went on holiday but with the thought that the third season would go well, I felt like I was in the best moment of my career and I was sure this year we would win, but then something unexpected arrived during my adventure, only my family and I know how difficult this challenge was, but I beat this opponent, I won. I am more than proud. God really does exist because I don’t know what I could’ve done on my own – I thank God every single day. I slowly lost my place at Roma but I will be forever grateful for everything, I was not able to win a trophy with you but I hope to have left something more important, do not give up, no matter how many times defeat or disappointment comes – never give up! I still have not given up and I will never give up! I salute you, I will continue on my path, I will always support Roma.”
