Shakhtar midfielder Bernard called the current season the best in his career, and also reported that the club's management offers him to extend the current contract.

Bernard joined the ranks of Shakhtar in the summer of 2013, moving from Atletico Mineiro for 25 million euros. The current agreement of the 24-year-old Brazilian with the Gorki is calculated until the summer of 2018.

"The change of coach influenced the climate in Shakhtar. Yes, we have difficulties due to the fact that we can not play in Donetsk, but the arrival of Fonseka positively affected Shakhtar. Perhaps the current season - the best in my career, because I played almost all the games, "- quotes Bernard Globo.

"Shakhtar's management contacted me to discuss a new contract. This will be done by my agents, but so far I do not plan to return to Brazil. In the future, I will again put on the T-shirt Atletico Mineiro - this is my desire ".

Note that the regular game practice Bernard began to receive only this season after the team was headed by Paulo Fonseca.

In the current campaign, the Brazilian held for his team 37 matches in all tournaments, which marked seven goals and seven assists.
