DAVID SILVA is reportedly set to sign a new short-term deal at Manchester City with his contract at the club to expire next month.
The Spanish playmaker was due to leave the Etihad on June 30, with the player heavily linked with a move to MLS side Inter Miami.
SunSport recently stated how the 34-year-old wanted to extend his stay at the Citizens until the end of the season.
And now ESPN have claimed that City are confident Silva will put pen to paper and agree a new contract extension to allow him to say goodbye to the club and the fans.
They say that the deal will only become official once the plans to complete the campaign are fully announced.
It has also been suggested that a key reason why Silva wants to remain at City is due to the fact the club are still in the Champions League – a trophy that has continued to elude him.
Premier League chiefs are keen for the top flight to resume next month, with June 19 touted as a possible start date.
City still have ten games left to play in the league, and as well as being in the Champions League, they are still in the running to win the FA Cup.
Unfortunately for Silva, while he looks set to say goodbye to City on the pitch, he will not be able to bid farewell to his adoring fan base with matches to be played behind-closed-doors.
Silva signed for City from Valencia in 2010 and has been a key part of the team that has won four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and five League Cups.
Over the last decade, Silva has featured 423 times for the club in all competitions, scoring 73 goals.
As well as being linked to making the move to join Miami, a return to Valencia has also been speculated.
