Manchester City are in talks with Fernandinho over a new contract at the Etihad.
The five-year deal signed by the Brazil midfielder when he joined from Shakhtar Donetsk for £30million in 2013 is due to run out next year and it is understood there is a willingness on both sides to agree new terms as quickly as possible.
Fernandinho, 32, has been one of City's most consistent performers under Pep Guardiola and started every game this season before Wednesday night's Carabao Cup tie at West Bromwich Albion, where he was on the bench.

The Brazilian midfielder came on as a second-half substitute for Leroy Sane, who scored both goals in the 2-1 victory at West Brom.
City are looking to tie down several first-team players to new deals, with the club opening talks with the representatives of Gabriel Jesus over an improved contract.
City are already in the process of offering new terms to Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva and want to reward Jesus for his impact since arriving from Palmeiras for £27m last January.
The 20-year-old has scored 12 goals in 15 starts and his stunning form has made him one of the first names on Guardiola's team-sheet.
