Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva will depart the club upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season. The 31-year-old Portuguese midfielder has been a key player since joining from Monaco in 2017, accumulating 76 goals and 77 assists in 451 appearances. His tenure includes 15 major honors, notably the Treble-winning 2022-23 season, capped by last month's Carabao Cup victory.
Silva also helped City win the Premier League title with 100 points in 2017-18, all four domestic trophies in 2018-19 and four consecutive league titles between 2021 and 2024.
"What we won and achieved together is a legacy that will forever be cherished in my heart," he said on Instagram., external
"The Centurions, the domestic quadruple, the Treble, the four in a row and much more. It wasn't that bad.”
He has won six Premier League titles in eight seasons with City and was named club captain following the departure of Kevin de Bruyne at the end of last season.
Silva is the only player from City's modern era in the top 10 of the club's all-time appearances list and is currently joint-eighth with Mike Summerbee.
