Bernardo Silva signs Man City contract extension to end Barcelona & PSG links

Bernardo Silva has ended speculation over his future by signing a new three-year contract at Manchester City.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have been long-term admirers of the 28-year-old playmaker and hoped to lure him away from Manchester after the club ended their quest for a first Champions League trophy last season.

Silva played a significant role in City's success, scoring a brace against Real Madrid in the romping 4-0 semi-final first leg win, and his importance to Pep Guardiola's side has been reinforced by the Spaniard's desire for him to stay put.

He had been considering his options, but 90min revealed last Friday that City were confident of committing him to a new contract. And the Premier League champions have now confirmed Silva has put pen to paper, extending his lengthy stay at the club until 2026.

"I've had six incredible years at Manchester City and I'm delighted to extend my time here," Silva told City's official website. "Winning the Treble last season was extremely special and it's exciting to be part of a squad where there is such a hunger and passion.
