- David Silva extends his Manchester city contract
Manchester city’s main man David Silva has put pen to paper extending his current contract until 2017. It is a welcome boost for the English champions as they can confirm the Spaniard will not be leaving the club anytime sooner.
The Spaniard, arrived to the Etihad from Spanish club Valencia in the summer of 2010 and helped the club win the league title for the first time since 1968. Silva, who had two years remaining on his current deal, has decided to extend his contract for another 5 years for a fee which is believed to be around £200,00-a-week and the Spanish International is delighted to have committed his future to the Citizens.
Here is what he had to say:
“I’m very pleased,” he told the club’s official website.
“I’ve been here for two years now and I feel very happy here at the club, in the city and with all the people.
“So now I’m delighted to be extending my contract and being here really does feel just like home for me.
“We’ve won the Premier League title and two other trophies too, and the team is growing and we are now aiming at the Champions League and so that also is another reason to want to stay here and try and win it.
“As I said, I feel very comfortable here and I want to try and win trophies like those.
“These last two years have gone very well and so let’s hope that the next five go as well or even better.
“The fans have always given me their support since I arrived here, and recently they’ve been wanting me to sign, so hopefully this goes someway to thanking them for the affection they’ve shown towards me, something which also helped me decide to put pen to paper.”
