Fernandinho has signed a one-year contract extension at Manchester City and will play a ninth campaign at the club.
The Brazilian 36-year-old has put pen to paper on a fresh deal, first revealed by Sportsmail, having helped Pep Guardiola's side to the Premier League title last term.
He remains an integral part of the group and offers much-needed stability to midfield, allowing the attacking riches to flourish up front.
Fernandinho was a shock omission from the Champions League final and City sorely missed his solidity.
