The sad truth is that he probably has played his last game for Manchester City 🙁

What do we think?
Silva has been a magnificent servant to Manchester City over his 10 seasons with the club, scoring 74 goals and providing 137 assists in 424 appearances.
Despite his advancing years, the former Spain international has still been in fine form this season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists over his 19 Premier League fixtures, while averaging a highly impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.15 in the top flight.
As such, it is evident that the 34-year-old still has plenty left in his tank, and while City fans are sad to see Silva leave, it appears that the £13.5 million-rated man will not be retiring any time soon.
