MANCHESTER CITY legend David Silva is set to become the face of David Beckham’s Inter Milan by becoming the first major transfer next summer, according to reports.
The Spaniard has already confirmed he will end his hugely successful stint in the Premier League at the end of this upcoming campaign.

And despite rumours he could end his career at local club Las Palmas, the Independent report that Silva will play his trade in the MLS next campaign.
Manchester United legend Beckham is keen to bring in a Spanish-speaking superstar to maximise interest from south Florida’s large Hispanic community.
Inter Miami are due to join the American League next year and Becks understand the value of a signing a global star in promoting the franchise across the world.
The MLS season starts in March, meaning that 33-year-old Silva will miss the first three months with his new side as he bids to end his stint with Pep Guardiola’s side with a Champions League medal.
When he announced he’d be leaving in the summer, he said: “10 years for me is enough. It’s the perfect time for me.
“Initially, City were talking about two years, but I decided to sign another one, so I finished at 10 years. It completes the cycle.
“It’s a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years – that’s it.”
The veteran is now City’s longest-serving player since his £25million move from Valencia in 2010.
He will be regarded as one of the club’s most successful and greatest players with 10 pieces of major silverware, lifting four Prem titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups at the club.

Inter Miami currently only have three players on their team – Matias Pellegrini, Julian Carranza and Christian Makoun.
But Beckham has been keen to bring in as many big names as their salary cap will allow, withe former England captain already speaking to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
And Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris could be the next Prem star to follow Silva stateside after he admitted he was interested in a move to the MLS.
