His departure, cyclically, is assumed to be imminent. Negotiations about him in certain news reports seem uninterrupted. Now Nahitan Nandez puts his face to it and decides to "speak with his heart on his sleeve, as I have always done".
El Leon of Cagliari entrusts his heartfelt position and declaration of love for the rossoblù shirt and Sardinia to a post on Instagram. Here is his post.
«Given the declarations and comments regarding me, today I want to put my face forward and speak with my heart in my hand as I always have done.
Feeling that I want to leave Cagliari, leave this city, leave these people makes me feel very bad. Reading that I'm a sellout and that I no longer want to fight for this team saddens my soul.
I spent 5 intense years in this land which for me is paradise. I made choices. I chose to stay here until the end of my contract to give my all to this island, despite having had other offers. We have experienced many beautiful moments but also strong and bad ones. We lost the category and in the middle of the journey I also had various injuries. But we won the play offs... we felt alive. We laughed and rejoiced, all together. United. All part of a people.
My son was born here, I rebuilt my family with my current Sardinian girlfriend. I felt like one of you. I feel Sardinian. Sardinia is home for me.
Many may think that they are just words and these words are probably not enough for me to best express the love I feel for this city and its people.
Anyone who knows me knows the respect I have for this shirt and its history.
I don't know if these will be my last 6 months. I don't know if I will stay here for a year, 10 or my whole life but I assure you that I am happy to have the opportunity to live in a place like yours and to suffer and rejoice with you.
And rest assured that until the last day I will fight for this team, for the city and its people. I will give my all to represent you, because these people deserve it.
Thank you and always go Casteddu! Together we will make it to the end."
