Manchester City defender Sergio Gomez has signed for La Liga side Real Sociedad in a deal worth 10m euros (£8.4m).

The 23-year-old Spaniard has struggled for first-team football since arriving for £11m in 2022, making just 18 Premier League appearances.

City have a 30% sell-on clause in the transfer, which sees Gomez leave City two years into his original four-year contract.

The left-back said he recognises it is "time to leave", adding: "Being part of such a talented, ambitious and successful squad was a true honour and winning a host of major trophies, including the Treble, is something I will never forget and will always look back fondly on.

"I am excited for this new adventure but I wish Pep Guardiola and the players every success in the future."
