According to Sky Sports, City are preparing to complete a contract extension with B-Silva. It is reported that Blue Moon has offered the Portuguese king a new contract for 6 years, and after the renewal, his weekly salary will nearly double to 200,000 pounds. This season, de Bruyne was absent from injury for a long time, B-Silva swept away the haze of last season and became the new core of the team. B-Silva's efforts were not in vain, and his performance was finally recognized by the team.
In the summer of 2017, B-Silva joined Manchester City for 50 million euros, but after that he fell into a low point, the performance was not as good as the Monaco era, last summer, after the End of the World Cup mission, B-Silva took the initiative to shorten the holiday with the United States to train, his positive attitude was appreciated by Guardiola. Coupled with De Bruyne's unexpected injury at the beginning of the season, B-Silva began to gradually win the trust of Guardiola and became a regular starting player for the team.
With plenty of playing time, B-Silva showed his true strength. Aside from the list of headers for height reasons, he has few obvious technical shortcomings. As a technical player, B-Silva's aggressiveness and defensive enthusiasm are very good. In the 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Battle of King Hill, B-Silva ran 13.7 kilometers, setting a record for a single game run by a Premier League player this season.
Of course, the role of B-Silva is not all running on now. Whether it's the middle or both sides, B-Silva can show superior ability. Near the penalty area, Silva can rely on breakthroughs or straight plugs to tear apart the opponent's defenses, and the open area behind the center forward is his exclusive area. So far this season, B-Silva has scored five goals and provided seven assists, making him an indispensable player in the hands of Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.
This season, De Bruyne has fallen three times with injuries. Even so, City's results have been outstanding, and the reason is that Guardiola has found a replacement for Tintin, who is B-Silva. In Tintin's absence, B-seat perfectly replaced him, forming a midfield duo with Spanish magician David Silva. It should be emphasized that the Portuguese are not only David Silva's right-hand men, he is also regarded as the best successor to the Spaniards. City's willingness to offer him a big contract for 6 years with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds is the best proof!
