Silva ‘knows exactly’ what he will do when Man City contract ends

Bernardo Silva, the captain of Manchester City, claims he is “exactly” aware of what he will do when his contract expires, but that “it is not the right time to talk about it.”

The 31-year-old midfielder said wearing the armband is a “big honour and responsibility” and that it will be “a big honor and responsibility” at the end of the season.

The Portugal international has been linked with a move despite reports of interest from Benfica and Juventus this month. He is in his ninth season with City.

Silva has won seven Premier League titles and all of the major titles that City has won.

He initially thought about moving away earlier this year, but he chose to stay.

He said, “I know what I’m going to do exactly, but it’s not the right time to concentrate.”

“It’s to do my best to restore the club to its proper place.” Many captains have left, but it’s up to the younger guys to pass it on.

Silva will face his former club Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday (20:00 BST) in a press conference prior to the match.

When asked what Silva brings to the team, Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, responded that “he cannot do better as a captain.”

After Kevin de Bruyne left in the summer and before joining Napoli on a free transfer, Silva wore the armband.
