Bernardo Silva has put pen to paper with Manchester City over a new contract, and will now remain at the club until the summer of 2026.
The Portugal international joined the Citizens in the summer of 2017 and has played a huge part in the club’s success since that time.
In 308 appearances, Bernardo has won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, two Community Shields and the Champions League.
He has also scored 55 goals, most memorably scoring a brace in a 4-0 victory against Real Madrid which ended up seeing City win the Champions League last season.
Bernardo ready to win even more with City
“I’ve had six incredible years at Manchester City and I’m delighted to extend my time here,” Bernardo said.
“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.”
Bernardo says the hunger to win and make more history remains there for himself and his teammates – with the goal of looking to achieve what would be a first of its kind fourth successive league title adding extra special meaning to the new campaign.
“When you think that no-one ever did it before, if you do it, it always makes you feel a bit more special in terms of we created something in history,” Bernardo pointed out.
“And if we do it, it’s not going to be easy for anyone else to do it again, because this country, the number of teams that fight for this title every year is just ridiculous.
“It doesn’t happen anywhere else. And we’re very motivated to achieve that.
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain added: “Bernardo has been exceptional during his time at the Etihad, so we’re delighted that he has signed a contract extension with the Club.
“His quality and technical ability is fantastic – and alongside his hard work and professionalism, he has become one of the best players in the world.
“Bernardo was so important in our Treble-winning season and we are sure he can help deliver even more trophies in the next few years.”
