Bernardo Silva Gives Emotional Interview as Man City Captain With Contract Set to Expire

He signals deep ties to Manchester despite no reported talks on a new deal.

Overview

  • The 31-year-old’s contract runs until June, and reporting indicates he is expected to leave at season’s end with any final decision likely revealed then.
  • In the club’s March magazine, he says he feels “a little bit Mancunian” and promises to always support City when he eventually departs.
  • Pep Guardiola handed him the captaincy at the start of the season after senior exits, which Silva calls a major honor and responsibility.
  • Silva credits Guardiola with taking his game “to another level” as he leads a younger dressing room this campaign.
  • Since joining from Monaco for £43m in 2017, he has won 17 trophies with City and remains a regular starter this season.
