Ilkay Gundogan reached out to Fernandinho this season for advice on the Manchester City captaincy.
Gundogan has taken over from the Brazilian, who left at the end of his contract in the summer, after topping the squad vote in the early weeks of this season. Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker and Rodri are also part of the leadership group.
Fernandinho gave everything he had to the club during his nine years here and skippered the team for the final two years, taking over from David Silva. Even after leaving, he has still been helping out the Blues by offering his wisdom to his successor when Gundogan came asking.
