Man City has just received very happy news before the European Super Cup match tomorrow morning when star midfielder Bernardo Silva has agreed to extend his contract with the club.

According to news from journalist Fabrizio Roman and later confirmed by The Athletic, Bernardo Silva has committed his future to Man City when he is ready to sign a contract extension.

Theoretically a contract extension, but in practice, this will be a new contract, valid until the end of June 2026 (with the option to automatically renew for 1 year) with a higher salary for Bernardo Silva.

In his current contract, Bernardo Silva’s salary is £150,000/week (£7.8m/year) excluding performance bonuses. This figure is not even half of Kevin de Bruyne’s (£400k/week) and tied for 11th with Kalvin Phillips and Mateo Kovacic.

According to The Athletic, it is expected that Bernardo Silva will enjoy a new salary of 200 thousand pounds/week in his new contract, putting him in the Top 8 players receiving the highest compensation for The Citizens. Man City is confident that Bernardo will officially sign a new contract next week.

On the journey to win the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup treble last season, Bernardo Silva is Man City’s second most-played player, with 55 appearances in a total of 61 games, behind only Rodri (56). ).

Bernardo Silva, 29 years old, arrived at Etihad in the summer of 2017/18, experienced 308 games, scored 55 goals, and had 59 assists in the Blue shirt of The Citizens. The Portuguese midfielder has won 5 Premier League titles with Man City, 1 Champions League, 4 League Cups, and 2 Super Cups.

The fact that Bernardo commits to stay at Man City instead of joining the Saudi Pro League receiving a salary of more than half a million euros a week is more than enough to show how much he loves “The Citizens”!
