A new chapter is about to unfold at Manchester City. After the successive departures of several key players, it is now Bernardo Silva who is preparing to bid farewell to the Guardiola era. Having joined in 2017 following a sensational season at Monaco, the Portuguese international has won everything there is to win in England, but he believes he still has one last mission to fulfill before closing the Cityzens chapter.

In a lengthy interview with Sport TV, Bernardo Silva revealed that he is living his final season at Manchester.

before reaffirming his undiminished ambitions:

"It doesn't stop there, I have a big dream: to become world champion with Portugal. We're going to fight for it."

At 31, the Portuguese international now wants to write his country’s history at the 2026 World Cup.

Fully aware that the end of an era is approaching, Bernardo insists he wants to leave City in the best way possible.

"I want to finish the season well, to win something with this club that has given me so much," he added.

His future remains up in the air, with options open across Europe and continued interest from Saudi Arabia, but one thing is certain: for one of the most elegant figures of the Guardiola era, the final dance has begun.
