Fernandinho focused on trophies following shock exit news
Fernandinhohasinsistedheis fully focused on Manchester City's quest for the treble after his announcement this would be his final season at the club.
The 36-year-old club captain gave Pep Guardiola a surprise when revealing he would not be extending his nine-year stay with City.
Guardiola was clearly taken aback by Fernandinho's announcement after he had followed him into a press conference for Wednesday night's Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid.
The Brazilian midfielder later released a statement on Twitter to clarify his position.
He said: "I was 100 per cent honest and spontaneous in answering that question at today's press conference. But anyone who knows me also knows that my greatest honesty is with Man City and my duties as team captain.
"My focus is 100 per cent on winning all the titles we are playing for, and I will only talk about my future at the end of the season."
Fernandinho, who joined City from Shakhtar Donetsk, is out of contract in the summer having signed a 12-month contract extension last year.
Guardiola said Fernandinho, who made his last Premierleaguestartagainstnorwich in February, has been "an incredible player" for City.
"The role he plays this season - I like the people who behave behind the scenes," Guardiola said.
"I know what he has done, behind me, he handles many of our players and stars for the benefit of the team.”
"An incredible player for Man City. There are things nobody knows, but I know exactly."
