Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is in early talks with Bernardo Silva to extend his contract.
The 27-year-old was heavily linked with a summer exit from the Etihad Stadium, however the Portugal international eventually stayed put and has since excelled for Pep Guardiola’s side this campaign.
The Portuguese star has been City’s standout player so far this season and has scored ten goals in 33 appearances in all competitions.
His latest showing, which came in the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday night, saw the 27-year-old net a brace, with his best strike coming by way of an incredible first-time volley.
The Portuguese star still has two-and-a-half years left on his contract and although there is no immediate danger of him leaving for free, the club is understood to be keen to put him on an improved contract.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are in early talks with Bernardo to extend his contract.
Fabrizio claim Pep Guardiola wanted him to stay last summer – and he is still pushing for the Portuguese star to extend his stay at the Etihad.
Speaking after the game, which saw City run out resounding 5-0 winners, Guardiola hailed Silva’s performance and confirmed he would like to see the creative midfielder commit his long-term future to the club.
