Bernardo Silva
Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva is set to leave the club at the end of the season, marking the conclusion of an illustrious nine-year tenure. Silva, who joined City from Monaco in 2017, has been a pivotal figure in the club’s success, contributing to numerous victories and earning a place among the club’s most celebrated players. His final appearance for the club is scheduled for May 24, during the Premier League home game against Aston Villa. Throughout his time at Manchester City, Silva has not only excelled on the pitch but also played a significant role as a leader, having been appointed captain by manager Pep Guardiola this season.
Bernardo Silva said: “This city and this club gave me much more than that, much more than I ever hoped for. What we won and achieved together is a legacy that will forever be cherished in my heart. The Centurions, the domestic quadruple, the Treble, the Four In A Row and much more… It wasn’t that bad. In a few months it’s time to say goodbye to the city where not only we won so much as a football club, but also where I started my marriage and my family. From the bottom of my heart, Ines and Carlota, thank you!”
Bernardo Silva added: “To the fans, your unconditional support throughout the years is something that I will never forget. My main goal as a player was to always play with passion so you guys could feel proud and well represented on the pitch. I hope you felt that every single game. I arrived as a Man City player, I leave as one more of you, a Man City supporter for life. Keep supporting this young team and I’m pretty sure they will bring you a lot of new fantastic memories in the future.”
Bernardo Silva concluded: “To the club, Pep, the staff and all my teammates these nine years, thank you for all the memories and for letting me be a part of this journey for so long. The atmosphere we created every day in the training ground made me feel at home and a part of a big family.”
Silva’s departure marks the end of an era for Manchester City, as he leaves behind a legacy of excellence and leadership. His contributions have been instrumental in the club’s numerous achievements, including the recent Carabao Cup victory where he lifted his first trophy as captain. Silva’s impact extends beyond his on-field performances; he has been a key figure in maintaining the club’s high standards and fostering a sense of unity within the team. As he prepares to bid farewell, Silva leaves as not just a player but as a lifelong supporter of Manchester City, having forged deep connections with the club, its fans, and the city itself.
