Manchester City captain Fernandinho extended his contract at the team for another year on Tuesday, according to the English football club.

“Fernandinho has signed a new one-year contract. The Manchester City captain has put pen to paper on a deal which keeps him at the Club until the summer of 2022, extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium into a ninth season,” said a Manchester City statement.

The 36-year-old Brazilian defensive midfielder joined Manchester City in 2013.

He tallied 24 goals and 30 assists in 350 appearances for the English side and has won 12 trophies with the team including four English Premier League titles in 2014, 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Fernandinho played for Shakhtar Donetsk before joining Manchester City.

The experienced midfielder helped the Ukrainian club win the 2009 UEFA Cup in Istanbul.

He played for Brazil in the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup tournaments.

Turkish security forces “neutralized” at least three PKK terrorists on Tuesday in southeastern Hakkari province.

The terrorists were spotted plotting a terror attack in Hakkari’s Semdinli district as a result of reconnaissance and surveillance efforts, according to a statement on Twitter by the National Defense Ministry.

The terrorists were “neutralized” in coordination with Iranian fire support vehicles, it said.

“Our fight against terrorists will continue decisively!” the ministry added.

Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply terrorists in question surrendered, were killed or captured.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU — has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
