Fernandinho has been a key member of Manchester City ever since he arrived from Shakhtar Donetsk. He debuted as a starter in 42 games and has not strayed far from that figure in the six seasons he has been part of the 'sky blue' squad.
This year, he played 41 games in which he scored a goal and gave several assists. These are the most discreet numbers since he became a 'citizen', but the board is confident that he remains vital in the team and will be offered a contract renewal, according to 'The Sun'.
One of the keys for the footballer to continue his career in Manchester is his good relationship with Pep Guardiola. The coach already praised his good work in the past on the turf and has even compared him to himself.
If the operation is carried out, it would be one of many actions taking place in the Manchester City during the transfer market. They have already signed Rodrigo, bought back Angeliño and started contacting Bonucci.
