After he was selected for the first time in November 2006, the 32-year-old helped his country be crowned world champions in South Africa in 2010 and won two European Championship titles in 2008 and 2012.
He releases a statement via social media "I leave proud and happy, bringing an end to a time full of emotions and memories, like of the figure of Luis Aragones, a
maestro who will never be forgotten”
“I lived and dreamed with a team that will forever be remembered. “I’ve spent days and weeks considering this."
The national team gave me everything and helped me grow as a player and a person.” Silva’s announcement follows on from the international retirement of centre-back Gerard Pique last week.
Pique’s former Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta ended his time with Spain after this summer’s disappointing World Cup finals campaign in Russia.
