MANCHESTER City star Bernardo Silva is set to marry his stunning model girlfriend in July in their native Portugal.

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.
Ines, whose full name is Ines Degener Tomaz, went public with their relationship by posting footage on her Instagram of the footballer with his arms round her on a beach.
The playmaker responded with his own photo, showing them oozing happiness and looking tanned and relaxed at a dinner table.
The couple’s love blossomed during the coronavirus lockdown which they spent with friends in a large house near Lisbon.
Ines, whose sister Mariana represented Portugal at Miss Global 2017, posted a selfie of her showing off her engagement ring as she cuddled up to her 28-year-old partner when she revealed they were engaged and wrote: “Forever YES. My endless love”

She finished her romantic message with heart and ring emoticons.
She added in a separate confirmation: “YES, a thousand times YES.”
The footballer posted an identical message, and the first person to respond on his social media was the former girlfriend of his Manchester City teammate Ruben Dias.
Singer April Ivy wrote: “I’m so happy for you, hurrah for the bride and groom.”
The loved-up couple live in Manchester with their two dogs Charles and John, a French bulldog named after Bernardo’s team-mate John Stones.
