ice eyes

the offer

My contract at real madrid has come to an end.

A chapter of my life I've lived for what feels like my whole life. A chapter in my life I love. A chapter in my life I'll never forget. But a chapter in my life I'm willing to close now.

A chapter in my life I want to close now.

I want to close it because, I could get potential life changing contracts, not like real madrid changed my career but some clubs could make me sky rocket, not only for my career but as a player. And I'm willing to take that risk.

I walked into the managers office to see my offers.

"Hola, Alberto" I say shaking his hand before sitting down on the chair infront of the desk

"Hola, Lucia. Well might aswell just get through hard part of the way" he says clapping his hands together once.

I nod in agreement. And he stuck with his word he went straight into the offers.

Man city- £235,000
Psg-£250,000
Spurs-£240,000
Chelsea-£260,000
Lyon-£255,000

He then pauses after reading out Lyons offer

"Arsenal..." another pause
"With the offer of..." another pause...
"£600,000" he adds with disbelief in his face and tone of voice

And with out a second choice

"Arsenal...that where I want to go"

"Great, well get onto Arsenal and then tomorrow we will hve a send off for you tomorrow at the match v Atlético de madrid" he smiles

I nod and shake his hand before leaving.

The next day came around quickly.

Now back sitting down infront of the manger.

He told me Arsenal would like me to be in London for the 4th of May, which is in 3 days.

Gives me enough time to pack.

The match rolled around fast. I'm sat by the pitchline. Waiting for my queue to step out onto the pitch and thank the fans.

After the girls had just finished their warm ups. My queue came.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿

"News of the real madrid left winger, Lucia de Silva, has chosen to leave the club. Please say goodbye to there left winger, who has made savage impact on this club"

The stadium erupted in cheers, screaming and whistling.

I made my way out the the centre of the pitch, with a microphone in my hand.

"Hola, madrid" I say into the microphone

Again cheers around the whole stadium

"Como sabes, dejo este club pero solo quería pasar el día, gracias"(as you know im leaving this club but i just wanted to day thank you) I say into the microphone

"no sólo para los jugadores y el personal sino también para los aficionados. Todos ustedes han tenido un gran impacto en mi carrera tanto como mis compañeros de equipo y mi personal. Me empujaste a través de momentos de los que no pensé que podría salir, pero estoy aquí mejor que nunca gracias a cada uno de ustedes que están aquí esta noche y a la gente que mira en casa. y con mis compañeros de equipo, no podría agradecerles lo suficiente. me empujasteis, me alabasteis. Estaré eternamente agradecido de todos ustedes. y el personal, los fisioterapeutas que creían que superaría lesiones que no sabía que iban a abandonar, pero aún así me mantengo de pie y sigo jugando al fútbol porque ustedes me empujaron. Siempre estaré agradecido a todos los que forman parte de este club y a los aficionados. Hala Madrid"
(not only to the players and staff but to the fans aswell. you all have made such an impact on my career as much as my teammates and staff. you pushed me through times i didnt think id come out of, but im standing here better than ever because of every single one of you that is here tonight, and the people watching at home. and with my teammates, i couldn't thank you all enough. ye pushed me, ye praised me. im forever grateful of ye all. and the staff, the physios who believed i would get through injuries i didnt know id walk out off, yet im standing on my own to feet and still playing football because ye pushed me. im forever grateful for everyone whos apart of thsi club and to the fans. hala madrid) I say through thr microphone before clapping to thr fans and being clapped off the pitch by the crowd, staff and teammates.

My teammates lined up both sides of me with their hands out, I walked down through them claping their hands as I walk through. I then wss greeted with the manager at the end of the tunnel with a framed shirt with my name and number on it

"Silva" #11
