FIFA Club World Cup: Captain Bernardo Silva confirmed on Thursday that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the ongoing season, bringing an end to a remarkable nine-year association with the Premier League side.

The 31-year-old playmaker, who joined City in 2017, has made 451 appearances for the club and played a pivotal role in what is widely regarded as the most successful period in the club’s history. During his tenure, Silva has lifted 19 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League crown, two FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, as well as a FIFA Club World Cup and a UEFA Super Cup.

Silva most recently captained the side to the 2026 Carabao Cup triumph.
