Bernardo Silva set for crunch talks with Manchester City

Manchester City is set to engage in crucial discussions with Bernardo Silva regarding his long-term future at the club.

The Portuguese midfielder will enter the final year of his contract on July 1, prompting both parties to assess their options for the coming season. Silva has been a key figure for Manchester City since joining from AS Monaco in 2017, known for his versatility and ability to play both in midfield and attack. Despite not always being a guaranteed starter, he has made nearly 400 appearances for the club, contributing significantly with 69 goals and assists.

However, Silva’s future at Manchester City has been uncertain due to previous expressions of interest in exploring new opportunities. Last summer saw speculation about a potential departure, but it did not materialize. Now, with his contract nearing its end, there are reports that Manchester City is working on a new deal.

The talks between Silva and Manchester City will take place after the current season concludes. The Premier League champions are currently facing challenges following their recent Champions League defeat against Real Madrid. This setback puts additional pressure on resolving Silva’s situation as part of broader efforts to stabilize their campaign.

While there is interest from Manchester City in retaining Silva through an extension, no agreement has been reached yet. The upcoming discussions will determine whether he remains at Etihad Stadium or seeks opportunities elsewhere when his current deal expires next summer.
