Man City: Bernardo Silva now likely for Etihad exit - Manchester City News

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva now appears likely to leave the Etihad Stadium, after recent comments made in an interview with Record.

The Lowdown: Silva’s Man City contract

Silva’s current contract does not expire until June 2025, so there is no obligation for Man City to cash-in on him anytime soon, but there has been previous talk about him leaving the club.

The Athletic recently reported that the 28-year-old’s future is ‘up in the air’, while stating that Pep Guardiola could choose to sell him if the right offer came in, with Barcelona being touted as a potential destination earlier this season, and 90min report that the Spanish club are still interested.

The Latest: Seeking new project

In an interview with Record, the Portugal international confirmed that he could leave Man City if the right offer was available, saying:

“In June we’ll talk again to see what’s best. I’m focused on City project and my contract would end at 31.

“I won’t hide that my goal in recent years, if something good happens elsewhere, will probably be to move to a new project.” (via Fabrizio Romano)

The Verdict: Blow for Pep

Lauded as ‘incredible‘ by journalist Julien Laurens, the playmaker has been fantastic for the Sky Blues since joining the club for £43m back in 2017, and he would be a real miss in the midfield if he chooses to pursue a move elsewhere.
While Kevin De Bruyne scoops up much of the acclaim, and for good reason, Silva still contributes a lot to City’s attacking output, and he has so far scored twice and registered five assists in 15 Premier League games this season, a very solid return.
The former Benfica man is not irreplaceable, and so Guardiola should not stand in his way if a lucrative offer comes in, but it would still be a blow for the manager, as he has been a consistent performer for him over many years.
