I am just a normal person, and it is normal to have quality time with my family.
It is with great regret that I have to inform Manchester City of my wish to leave the club. I would like to state that I have great respect for the club, its supporters, and the owner, Sheikh Mansour, who has been nothing other than respectful to me.
Every single thing related to Old Trafford is amazing. When I was a little kid, I dreamed of playing in a real field, but I never imagined something as fantastic as this.
I grew up in a place where there weren't many opportunities if you didn't become a footballer.
Lionel Messi, I never saw him in the gym. I've never seen him train in the stops or do technical exercises.
City's boss and owner came with a very good proposal. They showed me that City has the ambition to be one of the biggest clubs in the world. This made it easy to make the move. Money was never important.
It's hard to say you're struggling if you're a professional footballer. Other people have far greater problems.
My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City.
