Bernardo Silva is set to bring an extraordinary chapter to a close, with Manchester City confirming that the club captain will depart at the end of the season.
The 31-year-old midfielder, who joined from AS Monaco in 2017, has been a central figure in the club’s most successful era under Pep Guardiola. Over the course of more than 450 appearances, Silva has helped deliver an impressive 15 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League triumph. His attacking influence is equally notable, with 76 goals and 77 assists to his name.
Silva’s legacy at the Etihad is further cemented by his place among the club’s all-time appearance leaders, having broken into the top 10 ahead of former stars such as David Silva, Paul Power, and Willie Donachie.
In its official announcement, the club praised Silva’s immeasurable impact during a historic era of sustained success. Despite confirming his exit, the midfielder remains focused on ending his time at the Etihad on a high note, with City still in contention for both the Premier League title and the FA Cup.
In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram page , Silva reflected on his time in Manchester, describing it as a place of both professional triumph and personal milestones, where he built his family and created lasting memories.
As the season draws to a close, Silva’s departure marks the end of an era for one of City’s most influential and consistent performers.
