Bernardo Silva will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, he and the club confirmed on Thursday.
The club captain spent nine years at City and had long been expected to move on when his contract expires in the summer.
He released a statement reading: âWhen I arrived nine years ago, I was following a dream of a little boy, wanting to succeed in life, wanting to achieve great things. This city and this club gave me much more than that, much more than I ever hoped for.
âWhat we won and achieved together is a legacy that will forever be cherished in my heart. The Centurions, the domestic quadruple, the Treble, the Four In A Row and much more⊠It wasnât that bad,â he wrote, followed by a winking emoji.
âIn a few months itâs time to say goodbye to the city where not only we won so much as a football club, but also where I started my marriage and my family. From the bottom of my heart, Ines and Carlota, thank you!â
He went on to thank the clubâs fans for their âunconditional supportâ, âsomething that I will never forget.â
âMy main goal as a player was to always play with passion so you guys could feel proud and well represented on the pitch. I hope you felt that every single game. I arrived as a Man City player, I leave as one more of you, a Man City supporter for life. Keep supporting this young team and Iâm pretty sure they will bring you a lot of new fantastic memories in the future.
âTo the club, Pep, the staff and all my teammates these 9 years, thank you for all the memories and for letting me be a part of this journey for so long. The atmosphere we created every day in the training ground made me feel at home and a part of a big family. Letâs enjoy together these last weeks and fight for what this season still brings us.â

Assistant manager Pep Lijnders let the news slip earlier this month, saging that âevery good story comes to an endâ and that the Portugal international is in the final weeks of his time at the Etihad Stadium.
Lijnders said: âEvery good story comes to an end, and I hope he enjoys the last months â there are only six weeks â and has a good farewell. He deserves all that attention as well.â

Silva, who has attracted interest from Juventus recently, was a past target for Barcelona and had wanted to move on to a warmer climate than Manchester.
The 31-year-old, who joined from Monaco in 2017, is one of the most decorated players in Cityâs history, winning one treble and 19 trophies, including the Champions League in 2023 and six Premier Leagues.
Appointed captain for this season, he lifted his first silverware as skipper when they won the Carabao Cup last month.
Silva has made more appearances under Pep Guardiola than anyone else â with his 450th City game coming in the 4-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday â and was named Cityâs player of the season in 2018-19.
Lijnders admitted City will face a struggle to bring in a similar player, adding: âYou never replace a player with the same kind of player because they don't exist. Bernardo Silva is unique. The way he controls games, the way he moves, the way he receives, the way he leads, the way he sees the solutions. All these things.

âYou never search for a replacement of one type of player. You search for what is needed to grow with the team and somebody who can fit in the first 11. And then you hope, with our academy, with the young players we already bought, that they can make that step as well in the midfield positions.
âIf you see our young boys in the academy, then they have to make that step and to grow. But the most important is that the seniors who stay for a long time, that they stay, that they stay, that they stay. That they are always there and around that, you can move.
âBut it will be hard because, as I said, in the game, when he is not playing, you will see how he is missed, and thatâs one game. Imagine a season.â
