Bernardo Silva is closing a huge chapter at Manchester City. After nine seasons with the Citizens, the Portuguese midfielder officially confirmed his departure with a powerful message aimed at the supporters.
At 31 years old, the former Monaco player said he will remain connected to the English club “for the rest of his life.” “I leave as a Manchester City supporter,” Bernardo said in a video published by City on Wednesday.
A Heartfelt Farewell to Manchester City
The Portuguese international also explained that he wants to be closer to his family after spending so many years away from Portugal. A deeply personal decision that likely marks the end of an era in Manchester.
“I leave as a Manchester City supporter. When I arrived from Portugal, I was a Benfica supporter, but today I can say with certainty that my feelings for this club are very, very strong. I will support Manchester City for the rest of my life.”
“It’s time for the younger players to get their opportunity, and for me personally, it’s a chance to be closer to my family. I’ve been far away from them for a long time, and I want to be a little closer,” said the Portuguese star, who has been linked with both FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. After an incredible spell under Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva leaves behind a remarkable legacy, including several Premier League titles and the Champions League triumph in 2023. His future could now be written at FC Barcelona or Atlético Madrid.
