Manchester City confirmed the permanent exit of Spanish left-back Sergio Gomez from the club to Spanish side Real Sociedad.
The left-back signed a long-term contract with the Real Sociedad side after the Spanish club paid £10 million for his service.
The 23-year-old star moved from Andrelecht to Manchester City in 2022. He proceeded to make 38 appearances for the Pep Guardiola side and won six trophies during his career at Manchester City.
He failed to get a permanent spot in the Pep Guardiola side because of the huge competition among players in the squad.
Pep Guardiola preferred to use Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, and Josko Gvardiol in the left back last season.
Upon the player exiting the club, he penned an emotional message to the Manchester City fans, saying, “It’s time to leave Manchester City, but I’d like to thank everyone at the CFA for their support and guidance during my time at the club.”
“Being part of such a talented, ambitious, and successful squad was a true honour, and winning a host of major trophies, including the treble, is something I will never forget and will always look back fondly on.”
“I am excited for this new adventure, but I wish Pep Guardiola and the players every success in the future.”
The Spanish left-back had a great time with the Manchester City side. He created an assist for Erling Haaland in the Premier League in the Manchester Derby, where Manchester City won 6-3.
