£300k-a-week Man City player now has decided he wants to leave this summer

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has reportedly made the decision to leave the club at the end of the season.

This follows previous speculation about Silva’s potential departure, as he was heavily linked with moves away from City during the last summer transfer window.

The report from AS suggests that both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain could activate Silva’s £50 million release clause in his contract, providing him with potential destinations for his next move.

Silva’s departure would be a significant blow to Manchester City, as he has been an integral part of the squad since joining in 2017.

Over his time with the club, Silva has made 347 appearances across all competitions, contributing 65 goals and 61 assists. His efforts have played a key role in City’s domestic and European successes.

The Portuguese international’s reported decision to leave could prompt Manchester City to seek a replacement who can match his influence on the pitch.

Losing a player of Silva’s caliber would be a setback for the club, so securing an effective alternative will be crucial for maintaining their competitive edge
