<\/p>\n

Manchester City playmaker, David Silva, has confirmed that next season will be his last at the club.<\/p>\n

Silva is heading into his 10th season with the Premier League champions, having signed with the club from Valencia in 2010.<\/p>\n

During that time, the Spaniard won four league titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the last one. Ten years for me is enough. It\u2019s the perfect time.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially the club were talking about two years, but I decided to sign another one so I finished at 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt completes the cycle. It\u2019s a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years \u2014 that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a family now and it\u2019s about priorities. I want to spend more time with the family. I\u2019ve got another year at Manchester City so we will see what happens after that,\u201d he told the Daily Mail<\/p>\n

Silva also make it clear he does not plan to stop playing, though he has ruled out a move to China or to any team that would have to face his current club.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot China. I don\u2019t know. My girlfriend decides for me!<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to finish my career here in Las Palmas but football changes. Who knows? It depends on the team and the players. I cannot come here to play in the Second Division with this team,\u201d he added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
