Previously, Football. ua reported that English Manchester City managed to extend the agreement with the team captain Fernandinho for another season - until the summer of 2022.

The experienced Brazilian footballer did not miss the opportunity to communicate with the club's press service representatives immediately after signing a new agreement with his club: \! It took me several weeks to make this decision.

I spent this time with my family, we spent more than one day for a thorough analysis of everything that was happening, so I believe that the final verdict was absolutely the right step on my part..

I am very happy to remain here in Manchester at the end of the championship season and continue to fight for our team objectives in the future..

My feelings suggest that my mission in this club has not yet been completed, so I decided to stay to help the team move towards their goals.. I believe that we can do a lot. Manchester City in its current state is a place where a footballer can truly unleash his potential..

Players who are already in the club, or newcomers - all feel the atmosphere of a serious team with ambitious goals, of which they were lucky to become a part. If you are in the City, this is not a resort. This is the place where people give their best to meet the club's standards and level up..

Our key incentive is to play good football, show our best side on the pitch, and win new trophies..

I think I still manage to keep up with the rest of the players and I am very proud of that because after eight seasons, at the age of 35-36 it is not easy to play at a high level with high intensity every three days..

I think Manchester, and the UK in general, can give you everything you need: education, health care and peace of mind so you can live your best here and do your job.. Of course, my family is very happy.. My son is just starting to play football now. Hope he follows his father's path! "

As a reminder, Manchester City intends to make an attempt to sign Aston Villa's expensive attacking midfielder Jack Grealish in the current transfer campaign..
