Zé Pedro took to social media to send a farewell message to FC Porto fans, a day after confirming his departure and transfer to Cagliari, in the Italian first division. The 28-year-old central defender stated that he has experienced a whirlwind of emotions in recent days, which he is still processing, but he leaves with his "childhood dreams" fulfilled and with the certainty that he will be "another dragon cheering and living the moments of glory."
"Hello, Porto family. I'm writing to you without really knowing where to start. The last few days have been a whirlwind, a mix of emotions that I'm still processing. There are so many memories. I lived unforgettable moments. I fulfilled childhood dreams. Representing a region, a city... Futebol Clube do Porto and its people will forever be in my heart and memory. At this moment, it's time for us to follow different paths, but wherever I am, there will always be another dragon cheering and living the moments of glory of this love of ours. I say goodbye with immense pride for having defended our colors and with a heart full of gratitude for all the affection you have always shown me, from fans to the people I worked with daily... teammates, coaching staff, all the staff and other employees. You were truly a second family to me and I take friends for life. A huge thank you to all of you. See you soon, Dragons. Forever one of you!" he wrote.
