Manchester City captain Fernandinho has penned a new one-year contract.

The City skipper, out of contract at the end of last season, has extended his stay with the Blues to nine years with the new deal.

Fernandinho said: “In my head and my mind, the job is not done yet.

“That's why I decided to stay here another year and try to help the team and the club to achieve the goals that they're looking for.

“In my point of view, we can do that, there's still places to improve and to get those targets. And obviously, for me and for my family it's a pleasure to stay in Manchester for one more year.

“If I can keep doing the same way, leading them inside the pitch, off the pitch, to help them to improve and get better and to perform better during the games, I would be the most happy person there.

City of Football Txiki Begiristain said: “Fernandinho's contribution to Manchester City cannot be overstated.

“He is an outstanding footballer – one of the best in the world in his position – and an exemplary professional.

“Since he arrived in 2013, his attitude and consistency have been exceptional, and he has developed into one of our most influential players."
