The 31-year-old has been the subject of widespread interest across Europe with several top sides including Barcelona, PSG and Juventus all prepared to snap up the midfielder this summer.
His nine-year spell with the side is set to come to an end at the expiry of his contract this summer, further enticing clubs to make a move as they aim to bring him in for free.
Speaking to Instagram, Silva sent an emotional message to fans who have seen the city win several trophies under manager Pep Guardiola who stated he would “love” him to stay and finish his career at the Premier League side.
Erling Haaland has hailed team-mate Silva as the "smartest player I have ever played with" as he praised the midfielder who won it all with City.
He's won six Premier Leagues, look at his trophies, he won the Champions League."
"Look at how important he was for us in the treble season. When he scored against Bayern, when he scored two against Real Madrid. It's difficult to find words because he's been such an important figure for this club for the last nine years.
"And he's also been shaping the club with the way he's been on the pitch and off the pitch."
Silva’s future is unclear but he certainly has his pick of the sides heading into the summer transfer window where teams will be lining up to offer him a fresh deal.
