The time has come to go our separate ways.

Today it's time for me to say goodbye to the club that has been my home

since the age of 15.

During all this time I have tried to grow every day

as a footballer and as a person

always with humility, effort and the pride of defending the goal

of Real Club Deportiu Espanyol.

I've given my all to help the team

to represent this crest with the utmost dedication

and to live up to what it means to wear this jersey.

I know that this decision will not be easy for everyone to understand.

12. I'm not asking you to.

But I do want you to know that it was a carefully considered decision

thinking not only about my career

but also about what's best for the club, for my family and for me.

This isn't just any goodbye.

It's a chapter that closes with the conviction

that everything I've experienced has made me better.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the coaches, teammates, the staff

and to all the people who are part of the club's day-to-day life.

Especially to Ramonet

and to everyone who accompanied me at the Josep Manel Casanova residence.

Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today.

I'm taking away much more than football.

Friendships, values, lessons, and unforgettable memories,

like that night of June 23rd that I'll never forget.

And, above all, thank you to the fans.

From the very first day, I felt your affection.

And in the toughest moments,

your support was what pushed me to keep going.

You've made me feel part of something very big.

I leave with a heart full of gratitude,

knowing this path has had its ups and downs.

But all of them have made me grow.

I've defended these colors with everything I had.

And that will always be my pride.

Now a new challenge begins.

I face it with excitement, but also with the utmost respect

for everything I'm leaving behind.

Thanks for everything, Pericos. Farewell.

See you tomorrow.
