Italian-born Ghanaian promising midfielder Justin Kumi, has confirmed his Sassuolo departure.
In August 2022, Sassuolo rewarded Kumi his first pro contract for his hard work in the youth setup as he looked primed to make huge strides on the senior side. He signed a three-year contract with the club.
The midfielder was transferred to the Sassuolo youth team in 2018 from Giorgione Jun. and has since then worked his way up the ranks.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kumi, expressed his gratitude to the club and his teammates who made his stay at the club memorable.
He wrote: ”I don’t even know where to start and what to write because a right comment for this post I don’t know if it exists and I never wanted to write it because we were all hoping for another ending.
”I leave by saying thank you, thank you for so many things, for making me part of this family, for making me live the most beautiful season of my life, for having met wonderful people like you and for all the great moments we spent together.
”This year has been a fantastic year we started as undefeated but with our strength every day we have shown everyone how much we are worth both as a team and as a family off the field in fact we managed to get into the top four teams of Italy which for everyone at the beginning of the championship It would have been unthinkable, for everyone but not for us because from the first day we saw each other we understood that there was something different almost magical in the air.”
The talented midfielder who has already represented Italy at the youth level, added that: ” It was a tough year we ate a lot of shit but we enjoyed a lot and all together for individual and team successes.
”I’m truly so sorry I wasn’t on the field with you at the most important moment of the season and you don’t know how much I suffered watching you play and not being able to help you like I always tried to do during the season because this was the moment we talked about every night together looking into our eyes and only dreaming about the day that would come but I have to tell you that you made me proud of you and the team we have become because you fought until the last second like a team actually a family can do so I can only say thank you. I love you all and you will always be in my heart.”
