David Silva is on the verge of signing a new contract with Manchester City, according to the Mail Online.
The thirty-one year old has been in talks with the club officials over a new deal since the summer with his current contract set to expire at the end of next season.
However he looks likely to extend his stay by a further year in a move that could also see his wages increase to £150k-per-week.
Silva moved to the Etihad Stadium from Valencia in the summer of 2010 and has since racked up three hundred and fifteen appearances in all competitions, scoring fifty-one goals while he has won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup in that time.
He won his one hundred and sixteenth caps for Spain as they beat Albania 3-0 on Friday eveni…
´It´s time to get back on track´ – Lewandowski targets titles after fulfilling LaLiga dream with Bar
Robert Lewandowski declared it was time for Barcelona to get back on track after securing his long-awaited move to Camp Nou, as the Poland international revealed he had always dreamed of playing in LaLiga.
Barcelona confirmed on Saturday they had reached an agreement in principle to sign Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, before completing a deal reportedly worth €50million for the 33-year-old on Sunday.
Lewandowski scored 50 goals across all competitions as Bayern won a 10th consecutive Bundesliga title last term, but made his desire to join the Catalan giants clear at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old leaves Bayern having scored 312 Bundesliga goals, a tally only bettered by legendary striker Gerd Muller (365), and will provide a new focal point for a Barce…
A row has erupted in Romania over the decision to crown Viitorul champions of Liga 1.
A 1-0 win over CFR Cluj secured a momentous title win for the club, which was founded in 2009 by Romania great Gheorghe Hagi.
FCSB, formerly Steaua Bucharest, defeated CS Universitatea Craiova 3-0 to ensure that they finished on 44 points, level with Viitorul.
They missed out on the title by virtue of their inferior head-to-head record during the play-off phase of the league, with Romanian football s governing body confirming the decision via their official website.
However, FCSB owner Gigi Becali has vowed to appeal to CAS, insisting that their better record during the league s first phase means the title is rightfully theirs.

Arsenal triumphed over Luton Town by 4-3 on Tuesday, and it can be said that goalkeeper David Raya should probably have done better with two of the three goals they conceded in that game.
Nonetheless, manager Mikel Arteta obviously has huge faith in the Brentford loanee and will continue to name him ahead of Aaron Ramsdale in goal.

Arsenal have further bolstered their squad for their Premier League title run-in with the signing of centre-back Jakub Kiwior from Serie A side Spezia.
The English top-flight leaders missed out on Mykhaylo Mudryk earlier in the window, but they have now brought in Leandro Trossard and Kiwior this month.
Poland international Kiwior has signed a long-term contract at Emirates Stadium, the club said, with Arsenal reported to have paid Spezia £22million (€25m).
It s great that Jakub is joining us, said Mikel Arteta. He s a young versatile defender who has shown huge potential and qualities with Spezia in Serie A, and also at international level with Poland.
Jakub is a player who will give us strength and quality to our defensive unit. We welcome Jakub an…
Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim says leaving Kylian Mbappe on the bench for the victory over Dijon was a club decision .
The 18-year-old was an unused substitute for the champions 4-1 victory on Sunday that saw them keep up their winning start to the Ligue 1 season.
Mbappe picked up an injury in last week s 3-2 win over Toulouse and was not risked during the routine triumph at Stade Gaston Gerard, in which Radamel Falcao scored a hat-trick and Jemerson was also on target.
However, his exclusion from the side has encouraged further speculation over his future, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly close to striking a deal to take him to Parc des Princes.
But Jardim insists it was important to give fringe players a chance to earn some game time before the Champi…
West Ham are still being affected by the sickness bug that contributed to their 5-0 rout by Fulham on Sunday.
David Moyes has revealed that some players are struggling with illness as the Hammers look to finish top of Group A of the Europa League by securing at least a draw against SC Freiburg on Thursday night.
The London Stadium clash is the first of four matches in three competitions over 10 days for West Ham, who have already qualified for the knockout phase but are hoping to progress as top seeds and thereby avoid the burden of a play-off over two legs.
Attention turns to Europe

Henrikh Mkhitaryan s superb second-half volley helped Inter overcome a stubborn Udinese in Serie A on Saturday, claiming a 3-1 win at San Siro.
Romelu Lukaku s 20th-minute penalty after Denzel Dumfries was brought down saw the hosts initially lead, only for Sandi Lovric s breakaway finish to reel them in before the break.
But just as it looked like the Nerazzurri would be forced to settle for a point, the Armenia international rode to their rescue with an excellent 73rd-minute strike.
Martinez made sure of the points in the 89th minute as Simone Inzaghi s side stretched their lead over third-place Milan to three points, ahead of the congested European race beneath them.

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green has announced his retirement from football at the age of 39.
Green was part of the Chelsea squad that celebrated winning the Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku this week.
The goalkeeper started the 2010 World Cup as England s first choice between the posts but was dropped after making an error against the United States in the Three Lions tournament opener.
Green joined Chelsea on a free transfer last year after leaving Huddersfield Town but did not make a competitive appearance for the Blues.
Following an incredible evening in Baku on Wednesday and after a 23-year career spanning three decades, I ve decided that now is the right time to announce my retirement from professional football, Green said in a statem…
Liverpool have jolted the transfer market into life by making the first mega-money foray into the January sales with a reported £75million capture of Virgil van Dijk.
A few short months on from failing to land the Dutchman s signature, the Reds have persuaded Van Dijk to join, having parted with a record fee for a defender.
Expensive recruits in defence have become something of a hallmark of this Premier League season, with Manchester City streaking clear at the top after a big-money makeover that focused on defence.
City are well-represented on the list of costly stoppers that Van Dijk now tops, but who else makes the top 10? We took a look.
