The 31-year-old playmaker joined the team in 2017, and since then he has played 450 matches under the leadership of Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, during which he won 19 titles, including six English Premier League titles and the Champions League title.

For his part, Silva confirmed his departure on his Instagram account, where he wrote: “After a few months it will be time to say goodbye to the city where we have not only achieved so much as a club, but also where I started my married life and my family. From the bottom of my heart, Ines and Carlota, thank you!”

During his career with the club, Silva scored 76 goals and provided 77 assists. He also entered the list of the ten most participating players in the history of Manchester City, surpassing prominent names such as David Silva, Paul Bauer and Willy Donacki.
