David Silva confirmed his decision to leave Manchester City next summer at the launch of a campaign in his native Gran Canaria against gender violence.
It follows an incident two years ago when Yurena Lopez, a chambermaid at the Anfi resort for whom Silva is a spokesman, was killed by her partner.
Silva's mother Eva worked in the same job at the resort when he was growing up on the island, and the Spanish star was happy to front the 'Stop Violence' campaign that launched on Tuesday.
