Fernando is urging new Manchester City teammate Yaya Toure to stay. The midfielder joined City this month from Porto.
He told the club's website, mcfc.co.uk: "City are known all over the world, football players are aware of Manchester City.
"It is a dream to be here and to be part of this great club. I also hope to become one of the club's great players.
"We know they are players with a lot of qualities - it won't be easy to get into that midfield, but with a lot of work, and I know how to give myself to work, every day I will give my best in order to have a chance to make a contribution to the team.
"The player I admire the most and I watch many of his games is Yaya Toure, he is a great player and it will be an honour to play alongside him."
