Manchester City’s midfielder David Silva is leaving the club and Premier League following the 2019/20 season. Silva confirmed his decision in a recent chat with reporters, saying that being 10 years with the organization is “enough.”
When asked whether he will extend his stay with Man City past the next season, Silva responded: “No, this is the last one. Ten years for me is enough. It’s the perfect time for me.”
According to Silva, City offered him a two-year contract this summer, but he rejected.
“Initially, City were talking about two years, but I decided to sign [for] another one, so I finished at 10 years.” – Silva added. “It completes the cycle. It’s a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years – that’s it.”
David Silva joined Manchester City in 2010 in a transfer worth around $33 million. He quickly established himself as the team’s leader and was eventually awarded the captaincy. During his time in Manchester, Silva helped City win 12 trophies including four Premier League titles.
Although he plans to leave City at the end of the season, Silva will most likely continue playing soccer for several more years. He recently expressed wish to end his career with his hometown club Las Palmas.
