“Hello guys, I would like to explain my tears because I have seen that you got it wrong! Yesterday I cried not because Igli Tare and the President were asking me to go. I did not cry for this!” began Hernanes in his message.
“I cried because the two teams are negotiating and I have had the opportunity to leave, the possibility to leave Rome, the place I love, the fans I love and the people I love.
“ I have told the President that I would like to go for the belief that this is best at a professional level.
“I thank [Lotito] personally because he has always been fair with me. This is my choice. To follow the desire at a professional level to get even higher in football.
“Thank you for the love which you have given me from the first day until today, and know that I will love you forever and will never forget you.
“Even if you turn towards hating me for these words,
“Hernanes.”
