David Villa has decided to end his stay in New York.

An experienced striker said that he would not extend the contract with the American club that expires at the end of December.

– I would like to thank everyone. First, City Football Group, which gave me the opportunity to come here. Then I would like to thank the FC and the MLS of New York City for accepting me and all the members of the club who helped me every day. Thank you for working with the team, coaches and other employees. Thanks to my teammates. Without them, everything we have achieved would not be possible. I also thank the journalists who have always given me respect and love. I can not forget our fans. I remember my first day when I arrived in shirt and their reactions. I wanted to give them a championship, but it failed. However, I have no doubt that in the coming years, the NYCFC will win them. My experience here was amazing. I gave everything as a footballer, person and family member. I will always love with this place. My heart will be here and I will always be a fan of New York, said the 36-year-old.

David Villa became the first player in the history of the club. Joined him on a free transfer in July 2014 from Atlético Madrid and debuted a few months later after a short-term loan on Melbourne City [klub należący do City Football Group – przyp. red.].

In total, under the colors of the New York team, he played 126 games during which he scored 80 goals and scored 21 assists.

An experienced forward, his last match in the New York City squad, faced off against Los Angeles FC on November 11, eliminating Villa and his MLS playoffs after two wins, 1-0 and 3-1.

The plans of the 36-year-old woman are not yet known. "ESPN" journalists speculate that he could join the ranks of one of the Japanese teams in the coming weeks.
