Former Man City captain Fernandinho 'agrees to join Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense on a two-year deal' as he looks set to return to the club where he started his career and play under ex-Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari

Manchester City legend Fernandinho is reportedly linking back up with Athletico Paranaense, where the Brazilian started his illustrious career.

Fernandinho joined City in 2013 for £34million and became an integral part of the dominant team that won five Premier League titles.

The defensive midfielder took over the role of club captain in 2020 after the departure of David Silva.

After leaving the Citizens at the end of last season after nine successful years, journalist Fabrizio Romano has said on Twitter that Fernandinho is joining Athletico Paranaense on a two-year deal.
