Manchester City captain Fernandinho plans to leave the club in the summer.
The City player revealed his intentions prior to the second leg of the game against Atlante.
Fernandinho signed a one-year contract extension with City last June.
He said that he wanted to play regularly and that he didn't expect to still be at the stadium next season.
Since joining City from Shakhtar, Fernandinho has won six cups and four titles.
He made 23 appearances for the club this season, but only started six times in the premier league as the club tried to retain the title.
I will return to Brazil. I chose my family, which is the most important for me.
The coach spoke to the players in the build-up to the game.
The City boss said he didn't know about the comments. We don't know what will happen.
I have said many times thatFernandinho is important to me. I will talk to him even though we don't know what will happen.
Maybe it is a family decision or maybe he wants more minutes than he has had this season.
I will speak to him at the end of the season, but this kind of situation.
As he said, "I know what he has done, behind me, he handles many of our players and stars for the benefit of the team."
An incredible player for Manchester City. I know exactly what he has done.
I have said many times that I want my players to be happy. We are going to play tomorrow for him and give him the best farewell moment, reaching the semi-finals of the European Championship and trying to go through again.
Following the news conference, Fernandinho put a post on social media saying he had been honest and honest in answering questions.
He said that anyone who knows him knows that his greatest honesty is with Manchester City and his duties as team captain.
I will only talk about my future at the end of the season, as my focus is 100% on winning all the titles we are playing for. Let's keep pushing!
