Manchester City, for its part, will have to start thinking about his replacement.
Manchester City: Bernardo Silva will not extend his contract
Shockwaves at the Etihad. According to Spanish outlet AS, Bernardo Silva has made up his mind about his future: the Portuguese attacking midfielder will not renew his contract with Manchester City.
Arriving from Monaco in 2017, Silva has over the seasons become one of the cornerstones of Pep Guardiola’s system. His current deal runs until June 2026, and despite City’s desire to keep him, the 31-year-old seems ready to open a new chapter in his career.
