Silva may return to Spain soon, warns Man City star's dad

Silva’s dad has warned Manchester City fans to appreciate him while they can as his son could make a move back to Spain in the next couple of years.
Following a slow start to his career at Eastlands, the talented winger is now showing why Manchester City forked out £24m for his signature during the summer.
But Silva’s father, Fernando Jimenez Silva, has not ruled out the possibility of his son considering a move back to La Liga in the near future.
He said: “"Why not? The time in Spain was not a bad time. If one day Valencia are interested and call him, there would be no problem because we only have good things to say about his time there. Real Madrid and Barcelona were interested at one time."
Silva has been criticised for being too weak in the Premier League, but his father, has slammed those suggestions and believes he can be a major success in England.
Silva snr added: “Anyone who thinks this, it shows that you do not know anything.
"The Premier League is a very demanding competition to play in, but my son is not any weaker than other players. Although he is tiny, he works and fights and goes head to head. City's fans were surprised [to see this]."
I'm not surprised in the slightest. Anyone who watched him before the World Cup would know that he has a quality game and he is a talented individual. I saw enough of Ferenc Puskas to make a reasonable comparison. Another two or three seasons and the rest of the world will see what me an' his Dad saw!
