# Man City: Fans livid at Fernandinho news

**Manchester City fans are livid after Fernandinho was placed on the list of players released by the club following the end of the Premier League campaign.**

Since signing for the club in 2013, 53-time Brazil international Fernandinho has become a club legend. He has made 350 appearances for the Citizens ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fernandinho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/26267)), helping the club win the Premier League on four separate occasions. He even succeeded Vincent Kompany as club captain when the Belgian left the Etihad Stadium.

As of right now, the 36-year-old’s [contract at the club will run out](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fernandinho/profil/spieler/26267) – but it could still get extended.

However, for now, he has been placed on the list of released players which is published at the end of each campaign ([premierleague.com](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104)). Having made [37](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fernandinho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/26267) appearances in all competitions this past campaign, it does seem a bizarre decision from the club if they allow him to go.
