I would really like to thank vs I really would like to thank you

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different emphasis. 'I would really like to thank' puts more emphasis on the speaker's desire to thank someone, while 'I really would like to thank you' emphasizes the gratitude towards the specific person. The choice between the two depends on the context and the level of emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
