Silva will not renew his city contract upon expiry....
Bernardo Silva will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Premier League club in an announcement on Thursday hailed his "incalculable" contribution to what they called city's "greatest sustained period of success".
City's captain who joined the club from Monaco for £43 million in 2017 has made over 450 appearances for manager Pep Guardiola's side.
He has won 15 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League as well as this season's League Cup.
The playmaker has scored 76 goals and provided 77 assists for the team.
"Manchester City can confirm Bernardo Silva will leave the club this summer," said a City statement.
"Bernardo will now focus on seeking to try and ensure his remaining time at City ends with even more silverware, with Pep Guardiola's side still very much in the hunt to win both the Premier League title and the FA Cup.
"In short, he will be deservedly remembered both as one of City's finest and most popular players of all time."
Silva while confirming his departure from the Etihad on his Instagram page, wrote: "When 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. What 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 wasn't that bad.
"In a few months, it's 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!"
Silva, who thanked fans for their "unconditional support" and said he would leave the Etihad as a "Man City supporter for life", added: "To the club, Pep, the staff and all my team-mates these nine years, thank you for all the memories and for letting me be a part of this journey for so long.
