Fernandinho has committed his future to Manchester City – with Kevin De Bruyne the next to sign a lucrative contract extension.

Midfielder Fernandinho, who was out of contract in the summer, has signed a new two-year deal which will keep him at City util 2020.

De Bruyne, City's best player this season, will be the next to follow, with the Belgium star set to sign a new six-year deal that will see his wages leap from £120,000-a-week to £200,000-a-week.

City’s move to tie down Fernandinho, with De Bruyne to follow, is the latest step to secure the long-term futures of key players, with David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi also having penned new deals.

De Bruyne, 26, has established himself as one of the world’s best midfielders and drawn interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is why City have moved to secure their prized asset on a new long-term deal.

Fernandinho, 32, who has played a key role in helping City establish a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League, said: “This is a club with a fantastic future and I want to be a part of it for as long as possible.

“With Pep in charge, I feel sure we can win significant silverware and, importantly, we will try to do it playing attractive, attacking football.”
