🚨 17 titles in nine years! Premier League legend announces exit
Manchester City’s great successes will always be associated with Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese magician dazzled for the Sky Blues for nine years. But at the end of the season, it will be over. The 31-year-old has just announced this on his social media channels.
In a statement to the fans and the club, the midfield strategist said his goodbye. His message in full:
Cityzens,
when I arrived 9 years ago, I was following the dream of a little boy who wanted to be successful in life and achieve great things. This city and this club have given me far more than that, far more than I could ever have hoped for. What we have won and achieved together is a legacy that I will carry in my heart forever. The “Centurions,” the domestic quadruple, the treble, the four titles in a row, and so much more… It wasn’t too bad after all 😉
In a few months, it will be time to say goodbye to the city where we not only won so much as a football club, but where I also built my marriage and my family. From the bottom of my heart, Ines and Carlota, thank you!
To the fans: I will never forget your unconditional support throughout all these years. My main goal as a player was always to play with passion so that you could be proud and feel well represented on the pitch. I hope you felt that in every single match. I arrived as a Manchester City player and I leave as one of you — a Manchester City fan for life. Keep supporting this young team, and I am sure they will give you many more fantastic memories in the future.
To the club, Pep, the staff, and all my teammates from these 9 years: thank you for all the memories and for letting me be part of this journey for so long. The atmosphere we created every day on the training ground made me feel at home and part of a big family. Let’s enjoy these final weeks together and fight for whatever this season still has in store for us.
Since 2017, Bernardo Silva has won a total of six English league titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, and three Community Shields in 296 matches for the Sky Blues. Which club he will lace up his boots for next is not yet known. One thing is certain: he will leave on a free transfer.
