London – Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva’s stunning form this season was rewarded with a new six-year deal yesterday.
The Portuguese playmaker has arguably been the English champions’ player of the year so far, scoring nine goals in 40 appearances.
“It’s an honour to extend my deal with Manchester City,” Silva said in a club statement.
“This club offers everything a player needs to fulfil their ambitions and there’s nowhere else I want to be.
“As soon as I heard City wanted me to stay longer, my mind was made up. I love the club, the manager, the players and the fans.
“The style of football we play here excites me, and I am determined to win more trophies. City gives me the best chance of doing that.”
Silva has already won a Premier League title and two League Cups since joining from Monaco for a reported 43 million ($56 million) in 2017.
