Bernardo signs new Man City deal

Agency :
Bernardo Silva will stay at Manchester City until at least 2026 after the Portugal midfielder signed a new contract with the Premier League and European champions.

Silva had been linked with a transfer window move from Etihad Stadium, with Spanish giants Barcelona long reported to be interested in the 29-year old.

But he has now ended any lingering speculation about his future by agreeing a new contract with last season’s treble-winners – City also lifted the FA Cup – after his previous contract was due to expire in 2025.

“I’ve had six incredible years at City and I’m delighted to extend my time here,” Silva told the club’s website.

“I am going into my seventh season at City.

Since I arrived, I can only remember one season where we weren’t successful, so to be here until now meant trophies, meant winning a lot and I like to win.

It is a very good feeling and I wanted to keep it that way.”
