BERNARDO SILVA is willing to consider extending his Manchester City contract, according to reports.
The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium over the past year.

Both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have expressed an interest in signing him this summer.
However, according to The Times, Silva is now giving serious consideration to a new contract with Man City.
The Portuguese playmaker joined the Cityzens in a £43million transfer from Monaco in 2017.
He has since scored 55 goals and provided 59 assists in 307 appearances for Pep Guardiola‘s side.
Silva is a popular member of the Man City dressing room – which is one of the reasons why he is still in Guardiola’s plans for the upcoming season.
Although Guardiola wants Silva to stay, he recently revealed that he will not stand in the midfielder’s way if he does decide to leave.
He said: “I want to clarify this as I know reports in Barcelona make up what I say. I don’t want any players who don’t want to be here.
“I want to work with guys who want to stay and work with us.

“Some players feel they want a new experience. I will not be the guy who says ‘no’ — but they have to make an agreement with the club.
“Make a deal and it happens. But we have to get a proper offer.
“If we don’t get a proper offer, he’s our player and we want him.”
Silva penned a six-year deal with the Cityzens in 2019, meaning he still has just under two years remaining at the Etihad as things stand.
