“Football has given me everything — memories, friendships, and moments I’ll never forget."

“Thank you to every teammate, coach, fan, and club that has been part of my journey. It’s been an honor.”

Carson spent four years at Manchester City after joining permanently from Derby County in 2021.

The goalkeeper initially spent two seasons on loan at the Etihad Stadium.

He made just two appearances for the Premier League giants, which means he earned approximately £4 million per game.

His debut came against Newcastle in the Premier League in 2021, while his second appearance was a 17-minute cameo against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League the following year.
