Part of Me Leaves with Bernardo Silva – Pep Guardiola

Guardiola said Silva’s exit will leave City short of a key playmaker as the club pursues the Premier League and FA Cup.

  • On Thursday, Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva announced his departure at season's end when his contract expires, concluding nine trophy-laden years ahead of Sunday's Arsenal showdown at the Etihad Stadium.
  • Manager Pep Guardiola described Silva's exit as the hardest goodbye among City's departing legends, saying "part of myself is leaving" with the Portugal playmaker after nearly a decade together.
  • Silva compiled 76 goals and 77 assists across 451 appearances while securing 19 honours, joining Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gundogan as long-serving players departing within the last 12 months.
  • Guardiola urged his squad to embrace pressure against Arsenal, insisting "if we don't win, it's over" as City pursues a fifth Premier League title in six seasons.
  • Recent signings like Rayan Cherki and Marc Guehi now face their first Premier League title chase, with Guardiola acknowledging the squad's significant turnover amid the critical campaign stretch.
