None of this would be possible without my family, my friends, my teammates, my coaches and most importantly, the fans. The love shown by the fans in every country and every club will be something I carry with me throughout my life.
I leave with peace in my soul, knowing that I gave everything in every practice and every game. I treat with respect this profession that has given me so much, with my mistakes and right decisions", - Cavani wrote on his social media page.
