Fernandinho is no doubt one of the greatest players at Man City in his six years stay at the club as he has pulled 266 appearances and was crucial to the club’s two Premier League wins. He is now 33 and might not be able to meet up with the demands and level manager Pep Guardiola would seek for in the coming season which is the reason why a move is already made to have him join the club.
