Bernardo Silva has officially informed Manchester City that he plans to leave the team at the end of the current campaign.
The Portuguese playmaker, who has been a key component of Pep Guardiola’s success in Manchester, is now searching for a new challenge as his current contract is about to expire.
According to Caught Offside as reported by Goal, the 31-year-old has officially told the club that he will be leaving this summer when his contract expires, ending a nine-year, trophy-filled tenure in the Premier League.
The decision comes after a period of uncertainty during which discussions on a possible extension were allegedly put on hold.
