“I won’t take much time. Now my words are few but deep. Thank you to every person who has been a part of this journey over the years.

I have been and will always be lucky to wear this jersey that represents what I love most in this world – my country.

Undoubtedly, these were good years. I have a thousand things to say, say and remember, but I want to dedicate now the new phase of my career and give everything I have to where I need to be now.

I decided to step aside, but my heart was still beating like it was when it was my turn on the field in that beautiful jersey. Big hugs to all my fans,” Cavani wrote.
