“I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved at City in my seven-and-a-half seasons here and with Pep in charge, I feel we are in a great position to win trophies this season and beyond.

“The style of football we are playing is a pleasure to be a part of and I look forward to winning more titles in the years to come.”

“He has shown again this season that he is the best creative midfielder in English football and he will be very important in developing our talented young players in the coming years.”
