Manchester City assistant manager Pep Lijnders has indicated that Bernardo Silva might leave the club at the end of the current season. The midfielder previously signed a contract extension in 2023, but speculation regarding his future has persisted throughout the campaign. Lijnders noted that the club respects the personal ambitions of players who have contributed significantly to recent successes, according to Sky Sports.
Silva joined the Manchester club in 2017 and has since secured multiple Premier League titles. Despite his importance to the squad, reports from The Guardian suggest the Portuguese international remains open to a new challenge in a different European league. Manager Pep Guardiola has previously stated he would not prevent players from leaving if they expressed a desire to move and the club received a suitable valuation.
Manchester City currently lead the Premier League standings as they pursue another domestic title. The club has not yet commented on any formal transfer bids for the 31-year-old midfielder, per ESPN records.
