# Manchester City: Fans react as David Silva hints at contract extension

**Lots of Manchester City fans were delighted to hear that veteran midfielder David Silva could be extending his stay at the club.**

[The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/david-silva-set-to-stay-with-manchester-city-until-season-is-completed-pljhwv972) reported that the 34-year-old, who was due to end his 10-year spell at the Etihad Stadium in June, is willing to extend his contract for the remainder of the season in order to play in his team’s remaining fixtures in 2019/20.

As noted by [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/david-silva-set-to-stay-with-manchester-city-until-season-is-completed-pljhwv972), Pep Guardiola’s side still have 10 Premier League matches to play and are still in the FA Cup and Champions League, meaning that their season could extend into August even if it is resumed on 12 June as hoped.
