"I believe I have made the right choice.
"To have gone to Manchester City could have been a great project but in the past few days I have prayed a lot to understand what the right team would be and in the end I have decided to remain here.
"I don't want anything else, I just want to be well and be happy in the place where people love me.
"From this story I have understood how people love me at Milan, the fans and my team-mates have helped me make this choice.
"Milan has always turned down offers for me.
"I always said to everyone to first agree with Milan and then we can talk. But Milan had never accepted an offer for me.
"No member of my family has pushed me to go anywhere.
"I have not had any arguments with my father.
"My family has been very supportive and at no time have they forced me one way or the other.
"There were rumours that this story had come out because I wanted to renew my contract, this is not true.
"I have remained with the team where I am linked by heart.
"Saturday's game was no ordinary game for me.
"I was very emotional.
"Many children brought their drawings that they dedicated to me.
"When I left Sao Paulo to join Milan, a large part of the public criticised me.
"Now here all the fans are there chanting my name.
"Milan is my home, where I am close to and where my heart really is. That is what made me take this decision."
