He admitted that he had reached a point where he felt the need to leave England to start anew.

Despite considering moving abroad, he ultimately decided to stay at the Etihad Stadium, where he could continue his football career.
Looking back, the right-back admits that things could have been very different for him as he almost left the club for Bayern Muncih.
He said (quoting The Telegraph):
“It would have been very different because I would have been in another team but that was a moment in my life where I felt that I wanted to leave England and it had nothing to do with football reasons.”
“It was a personal thing for me when I thought that taking a break from England would be good for me.
“But, first I have to think about football. That's what I love to do and I felt that, if it ends, I would be happier at Manchester City than at Bayern Munich. “
