Bernardo Silva is going to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.

This is the end of a major chapter at Manchester City. After nine seasons marked by a trophy haul, Bernardo Silva will leave the English club at the end of the current season. An expected separation, now officially announced by the Manchester City leadership. Arrived in 2017 from AS Monaco, the Portuguese attacking midfielder has established himself as one of the pillars of the Pep Guardiola era. In nearly a decade, he has played more than 450 matches in Cityzens’ shirts, actively contributing to the club’s most successful period in its history.

In a statement, Manchester City praised the “invaluable” contribution of the 31-year-old player, a key figure in the numerous successes achieved in recent years. For his part, the Portuguese international wanted to address a message filled with emotion to the supporters, speaking of “an adventure beyond his dreams” and memories “engraved forever.” Over the seasons, Bernardo Silva has stood out for his consistency, his versatility, and his game intelligence, contributing to several English championship titles as well as to memorable European campaigns. His departure leaves a sporting but also human void within the Manchester City dressing room.

From here on, the Portuguese player’s future is still to be written. Long courted by FC Barcelona and tracked by Juventus, he is expected to continue his career in Europe, despite interest from Saudi Arabia. A page turns, but Bernardo Silva’s imprint at Manchester City will remain indelible.
