Manchester City ’s departing captain David Silva has reached a “verbal agreement” with David Beckham ’s Inter Miami side, according to reports in Italy.

Silva, 33, has cemented a legacy as one of the greatest players in City’s history over the last 10 years - if not the greatest.

Since completing a move from Valencia in 2010, he has racked up 414 appearances for the club, scoring 73 goals and winning four Premier League titles, as many League Cups and two FA Cups.

But with his contract set to expire next summer, the Spaniard has confirmed he will be calling time on his decade-long stay at the Etihad in search of pastures new.

And according to Tuttomercatoweb , Inter Miami are in negotiations over a deal to bring Silva to the MLS.

The American outfit, owned by former Manchester United and Real Madrid icon Beckham, are gearing up for their first season and are keen to attract big names.

Securing Silva’s signature would hand them exactly that, given his high-class reputation in world football.

He is not the only Spanish star Beckham wants to lure to Miami, nevertheless, as Marca claim Chelsea winger Pedro is also on his radar.

The 32-year-old looks certain to leave Stamford Bridge when his contract expires in the summer, although a dream return to Barcelona is reportedly off the cards.

Pedro has previously insisted he would “leave everything” to head back to the Nou Camp, yet Ernesto Valverde’s Spanish champions are unlikely to make a move for him.

If Silva agrees to join Inter, then, the Champions League winner could be tempted to link up with his compatriot in the States.

After appointing former Uruguay international Diego Alonso as manager, Beckham is now set to make Tony Pulis’s son, Anthony, an assistant coach at the club.

Inter will play their first ever MLS match against LA Galaxy on March 1, and the Telegraph claim Pulis will be among the backroom staff.

The ex-midfielder plied his trade for a host of English clubs, including Portsmouth, Stoke and Plymouth, before venturing to America in 2012.

He has been in charge at Sant Louis for two years in America’s second division and now looks to have earned himself a promotion.

Pulis, who has developed an impressive reputation in the States, reportedly agreed a compensation package on Friday ahead of his move to Inter.

After opening their MLS account away at LA Galaxy, Inter will make another trip to DC United before returning for their first home outing in another clash with Galaxy.

They will play home fixtures at Miami Freedom Park, now named the Inter Miami CF stadium, which is a proposed 25,000-seat arena.

It will reportedly cost Inter a staggering £750m to complete, with spectacular plans that include palm trees and a rooftop bar.
