After nine brilliant years in sky blue, Fernandinho is no longer a Manchester City player.
The club captain officially left City after his contract expired on 30 June and has returned to Brazil to rejoin his first club, Athletico Paranaense.
While Fernandinho confirmed back in April that he would be leaving City, the long notice period has not made his farewell any less emotional for the fans. That was clear to see on Thursday when the 37-year-old published a touching farewell letter on his social media channels.
