“Dear Luca, “Congratulations on scoring your 300th goal. You have tasted great success in your career, reaching the pinnacle with the World Cup triumph in 2006, and I’m so proud that Fiorentina forms an important part of your footballing journey. “With us, you were top scorer in Serie A and won the Golden Boot. You made an invaluable contribution to many victories and we still remember your performances here in Florence. “When you play with the level of enthusiasm and passion that you continue to display to this day, any objective becomes attainable. “On behalf of the entire Fiorentina family, I’d like to congratulate you and send my warmest regards.”
