Pep Guardiola could lose another long-length player in 2026.
Man City has said goodbye to many well-known players in the summer, and may come more in 2026. Kevin de Bruin, Adason, Ilkay Gandogan and others have already left, and another player of a similar type who can quickly join the exit door is Bernardo Silva.
Silva, who signed Man City in 2017, has been an incredible servant for the past eight years, 31 years old, and he is still a key player for Pep Guardiola. However, he appears to be nearing the end of his time at Etihad Stadium.
Bernardo Silva is considering exit from Man City next summer
As Talksport reported, Silva began to think about life after Man City. The Saudi Arabian club wanted to sign him in the summer, so if he leaves Manchester as a free agent, it is likely that they will rekindle their interest.
The move to Saudi Arabia next summer will represent the best opportunity for Silva to secure his final profitable contract before his career is over. Similarly, Man City may decide that 2026 is the time to say goodbye to another longtime player as Guardiola’s side is about to continue reinventing it in the Premier League.
For now, it remains to be seen whether Silva will leave Man City next summer. He may have been able to leave during his recent transfer period, but given his contract status, it’s much more likely that he’ll finish his time with the club when the current season approaches the end.
