- Had been linked to Barca and PSG
- Happy to remain at City despite links
- Glad to continue working with Guardiola and Haaland
WHAT HAPPENED? The midfielder was linked to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain all summer, but the midfielder says that only one offer ever came in right at the end of the transfer window.
WHAT THEY SAID: “It’s one of the top three clubs in the world right now probably so I couldn’t be better here. It’s a club I want to be at and I’m happy," Silva said. “It wasn’t a tough decision because there were no offers. There was one offer from one team, no more than that, so it was quite easy for me and for the club because the only offer that came came quite late so for the club to find a replacement it wouldn’t be easy."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Manchester City will now get to keep hold of their star midfielder, who has started each of Manchester City's last three games, scoring one goal and adding an assist in that span.
