Bernardo Silva will have a crucial role to play in Pep Guardiola’s squad.

There now appears to be no doubt surrounding the future of Bernardo Silva. Esteemed Kompany sources previously revealed that Galatasaray had an interest in signing Bernardo this summer. But that move would now appear to have been ruled out. From a Manchester City point of view, that is great news as one of their most important players will remain at the club for next season.

Bernardo Silva is a leader in the City squad. His performances on the pitch illustrate this. Bernardo was pivotal in Manchester City’s successful chase for Champions League football last season. Across the final few months of the 24/25 season, he was arguably City’s best player. He returned to his best form and showed just how important he remains in Pep Guardiola’s squad. On the pitch, no role has been underneath Bernardo. It’s that level of commitment that has made Bernardo so valuable to Pep Guardiola.

As Manchester City enter a new era, they will need their senior players to guide the new faces into that era. Players such as Bernardo Silva have scaled the proverbial mountain several times over. In the case of Bernardo, he is almost the perfect player to guide Manchester City’s next era of players on the path to success. It now seems that will be his role in Pep Guardiola’s squad for next season. Now attention can shift to who else may leave the Etihad this summer. But it won’t be Bernardo Silva.
