Bernardo Silva has ended speculation about his future by signing a new three-year contract with Manchester City – but long-serving defender Aymeric Laporte has announced he is leaving the club, with reports linking him to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr.
Silva has again been persistently linked with a summer transfer from the Etihad Stadium, with Barcelona known to be long-term admirers of the player.
But the Portugal star has now committed to City until 2026, agreeing fresh terms and adding another year to a deal that was due to expire in 2025. “I’ve had six incredible years at Manchester City and I’m delighted to extend my time here,” said Silva, who joined from Monaco in 2017. “I am going into my seventh season at City.
Since I arrived, I can only remember one season where we weren’t successful, so to be here until now meant trophies, meant winning a lot and I like to win.
