Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva recognises he will be succeeding David Silva next season.
David Silva has announced his intention to end his 10-year residency at the Etihad Stadium next May.
He told the Daily Mail: "Look, they are very big shoes to fill.
"David and I sometimes play in the same position and have the same style but I think it's unfair on David to be compared to me because he has played at a huge level for 15 years and I am just starting.
"The team will go on. Yaya left, Vinny last season, Kun [Aguero] one day will go.
"Players will try to replace them, knowing that it's difficult because they are some of the best players to ever play at this club. But one day if they want me to try to fill David's shoes, I will try my best to do it."
