- Manchester City and Bernardo Silva confirmed Thursday that he will depart at the end of the season when his contract expires.
- The 31-year-old joined from Monaco in 2017 and has produced 76 goals and 77 assists across more than 450 appearances.
- City says it will organize a fitting farewell at season’s end as Silva thanks fans and family and says he will be a City supporter for life.
