Manchester City yesterday announced that Bernardo Silva will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season, the Premier League club, as they hailed his “incalculable” contribution to our “greatest sustained period of success”.
The 31-year-old Portuguese playmaker, who is the current club captain, joined City from Monaco for £43 million ($58 million) in 2017 and has gone on to make over 450 appearances for manager Pep Guardiola’s side, winning 15 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League as well as this season’s League Cup.
He has also scored 76 goals and provided 77 assists to date, with Silva also involved as City won the ‘treble’ of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the 2022/23 season.
Silva recently moved into the top 10 of all-time City appearance holders, overtaking several notable former players, including David Silva, Paul Power and Willie Donachie.
“Manchester City can confirm Bernardo Silva will leave the club this summer,” said a City statement.
