City look to renew Fernandinho's contract

Fernandinho will end his current agreement with City this summer. Because of this, the renewal of the Brasilian's contract has been made a key objective at the Etihad. 

This season, he has played fewer games than usual. Rodri becoming a regular starter has left the Brazilian international in second place, and so he is looking to change his input at Manchester City. The Sun has reported that the club have not ruled out the chance of Fernandinho continuing to play for the City. They have also given him a different role within the club.   

Guardiola values his dressing room presence and the experience he brings to the team in important moments, as due to City's business structure, most of the other players are quite young. 

Manchester City want to keep him within the club at all costs. However, it will come down to a decision made by the ex Shaktar Donetsk player as to whether he wants to extend his career on the training pitch at 36 years of age, or if he wants to change professions at the Etihad.

Fernandinho achieved a record of 250 wins at City after their win against Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday. He now equals Aguero's record. Both players are second to David Silva's all time win record at the Sky Blues.
