“I’ll get straight to it and let you all know that these will be my final months as a Manchester City player,” he said.
“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.”
