After nine years in the sky blue jersey, the experienced Portuguese midfielder decided it was time to change center.
“When I arrived nine years ago, I was following a boy's dream, wanting to succeed in life, wanting to achieve great things. This city and this club have given me so much more than that, so much more than I ever hoped for. What we have achieved together is a legacy that will forever be in my heart. Centurions, four consecutive titles, a treble and so much more. It wasn't that bad.”, Silva stated in a letter to fans.
He wants to end his stint in the City in style.
"To the club, Pep, all my teammates for these nine years, thank you for all the memories and for allowing me to be part of this journey for so long. The atmosphere we created every day in training made me feel at home and part of a big family. I want us to enjoy these last weeks together and fight for what this season still brings us", Bernardo Silva concluded in a statement.
Silva made 461 appearances for the Etihad club, scoring 76 goals and providing 77 assists. He won 15 trophies at City, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League.
