"Bernardo Silva is expected to leave Manchester City in June as a free agent. There are no ongoing negotiations to renew his contract. Silva's contract expires at season's end and as stated, there are no plans to extend the midfielder's stay. He's long been linked with a move to Barcelona, though as yet, it's too early to determine where his next move lays."
"Following a first season of adaptation, Silva has always been a guaranteed starter in Guardiola's side, irrespective of the calibre of player City had around him at that time. In the biggest games during the middle part of Silva's stay in Manchester, Silva was often selected out of position by Guardiola on the right wing ahead of Riyad Mahrez, such was the manager's faith in Silva to do a job for the team."
Bernardo Silva is set to depart Manchester City at the end of the season as a free agent, with no negotiations underway to extend his contract. The Portuguese midfielder has been a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola's decade of dominance at the club, becoming one of the Premier League's most reliable performers. Despite Guardiola's clear admiration for Silva, whom he described as his "weakness," the club has decided to let him leave. Silva has long been linked with Barcelona, though his next destination remains uncertain. Throughout his Manchester City tenure, Silva earned Guardiola's trust as a guaranteed starter, often deployed in unconventional positions during crucial matches against top opponents.
