Milan has officially announced the signing of 23-year-old midfielder Richie, who also wrote a goodbye to Turin through social media:

Dear Bulls (Turin nickname) Fans:

At this moment, I wrote this farewell letter with a surging mood. How can three and a half years be explained clearly in a social media post?

When I first arrived in Turin, I was still an ignorant boy. With the training of two coaches, Yulic and Vanoli, I grew up here. Thank you for incorporating me into this great family from the beginning, and your support is unforgettable to me. Turin is a special team, and this battle jersey will always remain in my heart.

"Crimson Reds" transcends football itself and even more than the identity of fans - it is a blood-born belief and a spiritual totem of father-born son. I was fortunate to wear this jersey and even wear the captain's armband to fight. It is my supreme glory. I will always cherish the passion you convey, the love you poured into, and the waiting outside the stadium gate after every game (even in the rain). The tremors in the players' passage as tens of thousands of people shouted and sang in Supega Square; the movements of visiting the extraordinary Turin Museum and touching history - these moments will never be forgotten.

I would like to thank the club, especially the Chairman (and the Director) for giving me this magnificent journey. Finally, I want to embrace all my comrades who have stepped alongside me through the turf of the Olympic stadium, no matter how successful you win or lose... May your career have a bright future!

Special double hugs are dedicated to Duwan (Zapata) and Per (Shules), and I wish you to return to the greenery as soon as possible!

Say goodbye to everyone, please continue to love this team in your way.

Always have Turin in your heart. 🤎
