Based on his personality i believe he will step away with dignity giving his place to Rodri, will become a rotation player and help Pep when he is needed.

If we don't buy another CB, or buy one but Otamendi leaves as well, I think we'll start to see him much more in defense.

Would not be surprised one bit if Ferna gets a new contract.

I still think Fernny has 2 more season's in him especially now Rodri is here to take some of the workload of him.
Even before the injury, I assumed that. Frankly, I thought Gundogan would have started more often over Dihno next season if we hadn't gotten Rodri. So getting Rodri just made it a forgone conclusion.Hes obviously going to start day 1 as fernandinho will have just gotten through an international tournament in which he got injured.
In my opinion.

Same age as Thiago Silva & Miranda and two years younger than Dani Alves.
Just like Walker (Cancelo), Zinchenko (Angelino) and Stones (whoever we sign at CB).
The best way to get a new contract at City is for the club to sign competition for your place.
On the topic of his age/fitness, Lampard was still useful at 37. Remember that for 8 years of his career at Shakhtar he had a 3 month winter break each season, which could mean he's taken on a lot less wear and tear over his career than the average 34 year old.

Excellent news, if true. No reason we couldn't squeeze another 18-24 months out of Fern, with careful game time management. And if he and his family are settled in the area, I'd guess that he'd be happy with fewer games in order to prolong his stay with us.

This is a good point. Think he still has some energy left in the tank.
The more Rodrigo can learn from this legend the better.
