The Premier League champions are making progress in their efforts to persuade the 36-year-old Brazilian to sign a new contract, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the month. City paid Shakhtar £34million for him in 2013 after he had won six Ukrainian titles and the UEFA Cup. He has since lifted four Premier League titles, the FA Cup and six League Cups in Manchester. But the fact that Guardiola does not want to lose Fernandinho puts doubts over the future of £62million Spaniard Rodri.
