🔚 Bernardo Silva confirms he's leaving Manchester City for good | OneFootball

The most successful era in the modern history of Manchester City is bringing one of its brightest chapters to a close.

Bernardo Silva, the talented Portuguese attacking midfielder, has officially confirmed his departure from the English club after eight seasons of uninterrupted success under Pep Guardiola.

Through an emotional statement, the Portugal international wanted to thank the fans and the club’s board for the way he has been treated since his arrival in 2017.

Silva, a cornerstone in the club’s multiple Premier League titles and its historic Champions League triumph, says the time has come to take on new professional challenges.

From the Etihad Stadium, the club responded with a message of absolute gratitude. "He will rightly be remembered as one of the best and most beloved City players of all time," the club’s statement reads.

The departure of the number 20 leaves a void that will be difficult to fill, both in the dressing room and in the tactical setup of the Catalan coach.
