Pote leaves Sporting for Fiorentina and opens up: “I never imagined this” | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves said goodbye to Sporting with an emotional message on social mediaafter being officially announced as a new Fiorentina signing. The former Lions' number 8 put the fans at the heart of his farewell message after six seasons at Alvalade.

Pote made a point of thanking everyone for all the support he received during his time at the Club. “I hope you know that I will never forget what I experienced with you. Thank you for everything. I lived one of my biggest dreams: becoming champion with Sporting and experiencing Marquês in green and white,” he wrote.

The Portugal international also highlighted what he takes away from his experience at Alvalade. “Sporting gave me much more than just a shirt to wear. It helped me grow as a player and as a person. I am privileged to be part of the history of Sporting Clube de Portugal,” he added.

Pote did not hide the emotional weight of the farewell. “Today I say goodbye to a home that gave me so much. There are farewells that are hard to write, and this is undoubtedly one of them. When I arrived at Sporting, I never imagined I would live through this,” admitted the 28-year-old player.

“But above all, I take the people with me, the daily life at the Academy, every time they sang my name at Alvalade or on away trips, the children asking me for photos… They will stay in my memory forever! (...) May you always be very happy and keep supporting Sporting, because Sporting is you 🫶🏼,” concluded Pedro Gonçalves.
