Bernardo Silva

Manchester City have confirmed Bernardo Silva will leave in the summer.

The Portuguese joined City in 2017 and has made 451 appearances so far.

The 31-year-old's nine-year spell at City will end in the summer.

"When I arrived 9 years ago, I was following a little boy's dream, wanting to succeed in life, wanting to achieve great things. This city and this club gave me so much more than that, so much more than I ever hoped for. What we won and achieved together is a legacy that will be forever in my heart," Silva wrote on Instagram on Thursday.

He has won 19 trophies with City. Among the most important trophies are six Premier League titles, one Champions League, two FA Cups, five English League Cups, one Club World Cup and one European Super Cup.
