The 36-year-old Brazilian midfielder joined Manchester City from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013 and has gone on to win four Premier League titles and six EFL Cups at Etihad Stadium.

Fernandinho was also part of the Manchester City team which lost in the Champions League final by Chelsea in May.

"In my head and my mind, the job is not done yet," said the midfielder, whose previous deal was due to expire on Wednesday.

Fernandinho has made 350 appearances for Manchester City since his arrival eight years ago, scoring 24 goals.

The midfielder, who can also play in defence, was appointed captain in September 2020 after the departure of David Silva to Real Sociedad.

Fernandinho lifted his first trophy as skipper in April when City beat Tottenham to win a fourth successive EFL Cup. The month after he lifted the Premier League trophy as the club secured their third title in four seasons.
