WHAT HAPPENED? The 29-year-old has rejected advances from both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to remain at City, signing a deal that will keep him at the club until 2026.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Fresh off the back of winning the treble last season, Silva has racked up a whopping 308 appearances so far for Pep Guardiola's side, notably netting twice as City romped their way to Champions League glory for the first time last season.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to the club's official channels on Wednesday, Silva said: “I’ve had six incredible years at Manchester City and I’m delighted to extend my time here. 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.

“Success makes you want even more, and this Club gives me that opportunity to keep on winning. I love the manager, my team-mates and the fans and hope we can share even more great memories in the coming years.”
