The midfielder was linked with moves back to Brazil but he says he has unfinished business at the Etihad Stadium after agreeing a new deal
Fernandinho will remain at Manchester City next season after signing a one-year contract extension with the Premier League champions.
The 36-year-old's current contract was set to run out at the end of the month but Pep Guardiola has handed him a fresh deal after he maintained his importance to the side.
Next season will be his ninth year at the Etihad Stadium since a move from Shakhtar Donetsk and City have previously discussed potential career paths in the future after his eventual retirement.
