After the greeting on Napoli's social channels, the Polish midfielder bids farewell to the city.
"After 8 long years," Zielinski announced on his Instagram page, "our paths are separating... you welcomed me when I was a boy, and I'm leaving as a man and a father. Naples was my home and will forever remain a part of me and my family."
I have experienced unique and indelible moments that I will preserve and cherish in my heart."
"Napoli," the Polish international continued, "you have given me so many friends who will be part of my life forever. I thank you, the unique FANS with such a big heart.
You always made me feel part of you...together we won important trophies...then the "SCUDETTO" after 33 years...what an immense joy to celebrate it all together.
I will always be grateful for this SHIRT!! I thank the club - concludes Zielinski - that made all this possible for me and all the staff who accompanied me on this journey.
Thank you forever with me. Your 'Napolacco' Zielu".
Zielinski bids farewell to Napoli after 8 years, 'forever in my heart' The Polish player is thanked by the club after 51 goals and 46 assists. "Forever in my heart." Piotr Zielinski officially bids farewell to Napoli today, writing this phrase over the images of his eight years in the blue jersey at the Maradona stadium, which has always loved him.
The Pole is leaving the Azzurri: his contract expires today after eight seasons in which he was the brains behind the club's offensive buildup. Napoli bid farewell to Zielinski with a clip on social media and the message: "8 seasons together, 2 unforgettable trophies, the Scudetto after 33 years.
Forever in the history of our club. Bye, Piotr."
Zielinski left Naples after turning 30 and joined Inter for a new adventure, but he knows he enjoyed the best years of his career in Naples, playing 364 games for the Azzurri, scoring 51 goals and providing 46 assists. He arrived at Napoli from Empoli for €15 million, met the generation of Hamsik, Insigne, Mertens, and Callejon, and fit in perfectly year after year, becoming a key part of the build-up play and the dialogue up front with the Insigne-Mertens-Callejon trio, but also scoring wonderful goals with long-range shots.
Today, many are saying goodbye to him under his post, including Mertens, who comments "thank you" and puts a blue heart next to it. His wife, Laura, is also leaving Naples, having described the city that has adopted the Zielinski family with her affection as "wonderful" over the years. After the disappointing European Championship in Poland, Zielinski is now resting while waiting to start again in Milan.
