# Manchester City: Fans laud Bernardo Silva on three-year anniversary of his signing

**A number of Manchester City fans hailed Bernardo Silva following a post from the club’s official Twitter account [@ManCity](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1265298338209021952) acknowledging the three-year anniversary of his arrival at the Etihad Stadium.**

The Portugal winger came to the Premier League on 26 May 2017 for a fee of £43.6m (as per [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/26/manchester-city-bernardo-silva-record-transfer)), having [played in the Monaco team](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/28/bernardo-silva-monaco-manchester-city) that knocked his future employers out of the Champions League a couple of months previously.
