Manchester City have agreed to let Sergio Gomez leave the club after struggles to secure consistent game time. The versatile full-back joined City in 2022 but has found it difficult to hold down a regular spot in the first team. Despite interest from various clubs across Europe, Gomez has opted to join Real Sociedad in La Liga for a reported fee of €9 million, with City retaining a sell-on fee and a buy-back clause.
Gomez’s time at City was marked by a historic Treble success, but his lack of minutes on the field led to the decision to move on. Various clubs, including Bayern Munich, AS Roma, and West Ham United, were linked with the player, but ultimately a return to Spain was his preferred choice. Despite the challenges he faced at City, many believe Gomez has a bright future ahead of him in football.
Manchester City are not expected to sign a direct replacement for Gomez, but may look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. The departure will be bittersweet for Gomez and his family, as they are known for their lifelong support of the club. Gomez’s decision to leave City and his iconic number 21 shirt behind marks a new chapter in his career.
