“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.
