Contract talks collapse as Bernardo Silva prepares Manchester City exit
Bernardo Silva is expected to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, with the Portuguese midfielder set to depart as a free agent in June.
According to the latest reports, the club failed to reach an agreement with their captain over a contract extension, bringing an end to negotiations that would have kept him at the Etihad Stadium.
As a result, Silva is now widely expected to leave the club once his current deal expires.
The end of a major chapter at Manchester City

Bernardo Silva has been one of the most influential players in Manchester Cityâs squad since his arrival.
Known for his technical ability, versatility and tactical intelligence, the Portuguese international has played a central role in the clubâs success in recent seasons.
His departure would mark the end of a significant era for the midfielder at City, where he established himself as one of the Premier Leagueâs most respected creative players.
A captain preparing for a new challenge
With his contract set to expire in June, Silva could leave the club without a transfer fee, allowing him to explore new opportunities in the next phase of his career.
Free transfers involving players of his caliber often attract major interest across Europe and beyond, given the combination of experience, leadership and technical quality he brings.
For Manchester City, the situation highlights the difficulty clubs sometimes face when negotiating long-term deals with established senior players.

If confirmed, his exit in June would close a significant chapter in the Etihad era.
