Fernandinho Signs 1 Year Contract Extension

“This is the best possible news. I want to take this opportunity to put on record how grateful I am to my teammates and backroom staff at City. Without them, this deal would not be possible, so sincere thanks to every single one of them..."

“I have enjoyed every second of my time here. I never expected to build such a meaningful relationship with the Club and the fans, but it has happened, and I am grateful every single day. Our fans are unbelievable..."

"I am so happy that I will continue to play for them a year longer. I feel their love and passion and it genuinely helps keep me driven. My focus now is on making sure we continue to be successful..."

"My time here has been decorated by silverware, but under Pep’s guidance we have really accelerated. I want that to carry on for as long as possible.”

Txiki Begiristain: “This new deal reflects Fernandinho’s quality and commitment. He is not only a first-class professional and one of the best players in world football, he is a fantastic person who leads by example every single day..."

“We have a talented young squad – but making sure they are supplemented by senior players of Fernandinho’s ilk is of paramount importance. What he brings in leadership and professionalism is valued by everyone at the football club..."

“He is a player with outstanding technical quality, and his appreciation of the game allows him to play multiple positions. He is also a player without ego, someone who values his teammates and recognises the importance of the squad.”

What he has done with the problems we had - I am so happy to have him!” Pep Guardiola on @fernandinho and his contract extension.


A timely reminder that in June 2013, Fernandinho paid £4 million of his own transfer fee to secure a move to Manchester City...

Fantastic news, imperative that we keep leaders at the club.

I expect he'll be club captain next season.
