Since arriving in 2017, the Portuguese midfielder has left an indelible mark on City’s recent history through his consistency and influence on the pitch. With 445 appearances in the Citizens shirt, the former AS Monaco player cemented himself as one of the team’s key leaders.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the 31-year-old is expected to leave Manchester at the end of the season, when his contract expires. No talks regarding an extension have reportedly taken place so far.
