However, the Turkish one remained open until last night.

And Hurriyet claim that Fener made an attempt to bring the Spanish playmaker to Istanbul.

Silva, 31, has been at City since 2010 and remains a key player for the club.

The ex-Valencia star has featured in all three matches for the Citizens so far this campaign.

Despite the wealth of options available to him, Pep Guardiola still views him as one of his main men.

Although the reports in Turkey claim that both a fee and personal terms were agreed between the player and Fenerbahce.
