Defending Premier League champions Manchester City were boosted by the contract extension of Bernardo Silva ahead of their trip to Sheffield United on Sunday at 3pm.
Linked with a move to La Liga giants Barcelona, with some reports suggesting that the 29-year-old was desperate for the move to go ahead, Silva has now signed until 2026.
Of signing a new deal at unbeaten City, Silva says heading into their third league game of the season: “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.
