I would like to thank all the fans, players, coaches and the whole club for allowing me to be part of the club's glorious history. It is true that I have not been able to bring joy in the form of a trophy to the place I consider my wonderful home. I have always defended the colors of this shirt with courage, humility, ambition and passion alongside my teammates. I am sure that soon something important will be celebrated with the presence of these wonderful people.

Every time I stepped on the field, I looked up and proudly admired our men. Every emotion, every unforgettable gap, every song we sang together. These are moments that will remain in my memory. The match against Pisa will be my last in this shirt. I will wait for you at the stadium and I hope you will be with me.

But I also understand that it has been a difficult year for everyone. I respect your decision the most. It was an honor for me to wear these colors and this emblem on my chest. I wish the whole Lazio family all the best. I will carry this club in my heart forever. One of you. Forza Lazio forever“, Pedro transmitted.
