According to Manchester City official announcement, Bernardo Silva, the 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder, will leave the club at the end of the season after 9 years of representing the Blue Moon.
Manchester City Official Announcement:
Manchester City can confirm Bernardo Silva will leave the Club this summer.
The Portuguese playmaker joined City in 2017 and has gone on to make 451 appearances during a glorious nine-year stay with the Blues.
The 31-year-old’s contribution to our greatest sustained period of success is incalculable.
To date, he has won 19 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League, two FA Cup triumphs, five Carabao Cup successes, three Community Shields, a FIFA Club World Cup and a UEFA Super Cup winner’s medal, with Bernardo most latterly captaining the Club to 2026 Carabao Cup glory against Arsenal.
Alongside that phenomenal trophy haul, a tally of 76 goals and 77 assists further illustrate Bernardo’s magnificent all-round contribution to the City cause.
He recently moved into the top 10 of all-time City appearance holders, overtaking a host of other notable former players, including David Silva, Paul Power and Willie Donachie.
Bernardo will now focus on seeking to try and ensure his remaining time at City ends with even more silverware, with Pep Guardiola’s side still very much in the hunt to win both the Premier League title and the FA Cup.
In short, he will be deservedly remembered both as one of City’s finest and most popular players of all time.
