Loan to New York City
Right after joining Manchester City, Yangel was sent to New York City on a two-year loan. A loan means he played for New York City for a while, but he was still officially a Manchester City player. He played his first game on March 12, helping his team win 4–0 against D.C. United.

On January 7, 2023, he scored his first goal for Girona, which was an exciting goal that made the game a 2–2 tie against his old team, Espanyol.
