Coach confirms Manchester City star to leave at end of the season Bernardo Silva Leaving Man City: End of Era Confirmed Manchester City are preparing for a significant transition, with Bernardo Silva leaving at the end of the season after nine years at the club. Confirmation has arrived via assistant manager Pep Lijnders, bringing clarity to a situation that had long been anticipated internally. Photo IMAGO Silva’s departure signals more than a routine squad change.
It marks the exit of one of the most influential figures of the club’s modern era, a player whose consistency and intelligence have underpinned sustained success under Pep Guardiola. Lijnders Confirms Bernardo Silva Exit There had been an expectation that Silva would move on when his contract expired, but the timing and certainty have now been formalised. Lijnders made the situation explicit, acknowledging both the inevitability and the emotion surrounding the decision.

He deserves all that attention as well. ” That message reflects the club’s recognition of Silva’s contribution, as well as a desire to give him an appropriate send off during his final appearances at the Etihad Stadium.
Unique Role Leaves Void at Man City Replacing Bernardo Silva presents a complex challenge for Manchester City. His profile has never been easily defined, blending technical control, positional intelligence and leadership qualities that have evolved over time. Lijnders addressed that difficulty directly.
