Adrian Bernabe is set to leave Manchester City to join Italian side Parma, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.

In 2020/21, the Spaniard was something of a revelation within the Citizens Under-23 set up, chipping in with 10 goal contributions in the space of 16 appearances; three goals and seven assists [Transfermarkt].

Having also made five senior appearances for City, he has now chosen to leave the Etihad Stadium following three years at the club [Manchester Evening News].

Romano has confirmed that the 20-year-old is on route to Italy, where he will link up with his former Blues Under-23 boss Enzo Maresca, who recently took up the managerial position at I Crociati [Parma Calcio 1913].

In light of this news, no wonder loads of Manchester City diehards took to Twitter to voice their opinion at recent developments.

Manchester City fans react:

Replying to popular Blues outlet City Xtra on Twitter, here is how some supporters summarized their feelings on the Bernabe situation:
