Manchester City have officially confirmed the exit of Sergio Gomez from the club. The young defender has completed a permanent move to Real Sociedad.
The news was confirmed with an official announcement on mancity.com. During his time at the club, Gomez made 38 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side. He was a part of Manchester City’s treble-winning squad in his first season at the club in the 22/23 season. Gomez was also a part of City’s UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Championship and Premier League title-winning squad. The Spanish youth international will leave Manchester City with 6 major trophies won during his time at Manchester City.
Simon Bajkowski has reported via his official X account that Real Sociedad have brought Sergio Gomez in a deal worth up to €10 million. Furthermore, Bajkowski adds that there is a 30% sell-on clause included in the deal.
There is no doubt that Sergio Gomez has the talent to play more regularly. Unfortunately for the young left-back, it won’t be at Manchester City. The path to City’s first team has been blocked for Gomez by more seasoned players. Josko Gvardiol and Nathan Ake are Guardiola’s preferred players at left-back. With his route to the first-team at City blocked a move to Real Sociedad is best for Gomez and Manchester City.
With Gomez having now left City attention will now shift to see if the champions will buy a replacement back up at left-back. The departure of Gomez does now leave a vacancy in the Manchester City squad. That is now something to watch for during the transfer window from a City point of view.
