He continued by expressing how hard it is to say goodbye and that it was destined that as a player it was obvious that a day like this will reach.
“Dear Manchester,
Seeing this, you probably realise where this is heading.
So I’ll get straight to it and let you all know
that these will be my final months as a Manchester City player.
Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players,
we all know this day eventually comes.
That day is here— and you deserve to hear it from me first.
Football led me to all of you— and to this city.
Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life.
This city. This club. These people… gave me EVERYTHING.
I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back!
And guess what— we won EVERYTHING!
Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye.
Suri, Rome, Mason, Michele, and I are beyond grateful for what
this place has meant to our family.
“Manchester” will forever be on our kids’ passports— and more importantly,
in each of our hearts.
This will always be our HOME.
We cannot thank the city, club, staff, teammates, friends, and family
enough for this 10-year ride.
Every story comes to an end,
but this has definitely been the best chapter.
Let’s enjoy these last moments together!” he said
