"Dear Nerazzurri fans, This is your 'Drago' speaking, with a sense of emotion but also with great pleasure.


"I don't know if I can find the right words to say goodbye and to thank you properly for everything you have given me, your affection, your trust and your honesty.


"The last 10 years have been the best of my life. I have grown both as a man and, with immense joy, as a footballer.


"My family and I want to thank the Moratti family. I'd like to mention my president in particular: he gave me the opportunity to wear the Inter shirt, which I have been happy and extremely honoured first of all to play in, and then with which I was able to win everything there was to win."
