Original Title: Jesus Navas: “I want retire in December hopefully due to my arthritic hip. I’ve had this issue for 4 years. It’s exhausting & it’s getting worse. When I play a game, I can’t walk for 3 days. For me, it’s been a very big challenge in past 6 months. There are days when I can’t be with my kids”.
“I’ve been in this situation for four years. It is wearing you down, it’s getting worse, it is getting more and more continuous, more intense. It’s complicated, when you finish a game, I haven’t been able to walk for two or three days, which becomes complicated.
“For me, these six months were a very big challenge. I wanted to be with the team. I hope I can make it until December because every game starts to be difficult. I can’t take it anymore, it’s a health issue. There are days when I can’t be with my children. I have it decided.”
“Not for a second have I hesitated to answer in the affirmative to the proposal made by the president of my Sevilla. Yes, I want to retire at Nervion. I want to continue playing for my Sevilla. I willingly accept to continue to be linked to the club that I am in love with. My wish, and this is what I have told the president, is to continue playing until December in a transition to help the team.”
