MANCHESTER City star Bernardo Silva is set to marry his stunning model girlfriend in July in their native Portugal.
Stunning Ines Tomaz showed off her engagement ring last May after revealing she had accepted a marriage proposal from the midfield maestro.
And overnight it emerged the couple have set the wedding date for July 1 in the northern city of Porto.
Respected Portuguese daily Correio da Manha said a reception for 350 guests will take place after the religious ceremony at a country estate in the wine-growing Douro region.
The newspaper also reported Ines, 28, has been looking at designer wedding dresses in London but is yet to decide on what she wants to wear for her big day.
Silva, at the centre of recent reports Kylian Mbappe wants PSG to make a fresh move for his former Monaco team-mate this summer, confirmed in May 2020 he had found love again with Ines after his split from French model Alicia Verrando.
