The 31-year-old joined the Etihad in 2010 and has gone onto become a mainstay in the side throughout his time in Manchester.
According to Goal, Silva’s representatives held talks over a new contract in July and an announcement on his extension should be made within the coming weeks.
It means Silva’s time at Manchester City could span to a decade meaning the club could grant him a testimonial.
He has played the full 90 minutes in all three matches this season and missed just four games last season.
Bernardo Silva has been touted as his long-term replacement but Pep Guardiola still eyes the ageing playmaker as an integral member of his side.
Silva currently earns around £170,000-a-week at the club but has eyed a return to his native Spain to see out his playing days at Las Palmas.
