"As reported by talkSPORT, Silva has started to think about life after Man City, which could come sooner rather than later as his contract expires at the end of this season. Saudi Arabian clubs wanted to sign him in the summer, so there is a strong chance that they re-ignite their interest if he departs Manchester as a free agent."
"A move to Saudi Arabia next summer would represent the best opportunity for Silva to secure one last lucrative contract before his career comes to an end, so it would make sense if he was interested in that avenue. Equally, Man City may decide that 2026 is the time for them to part ways with another long-serving player, as Guardiola's side seek to continue re-inventing themselves in the Premier League."
Manchester City has already seen departures of Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson and Ilkay Gundogan as the club reshapes its squad. Bernardo Silva joined in 2017 and has been a key performer over eight seasons; at 31 he remains important to Pep Guardiola but appears to be approaching the end of his Etihad tenure. His contract expires at the end of this season, and Saudi Arabian clubs showed interest in the summer with potential to renew that pursuit if he becomes a free agent. A move to Saudi would offer a lucrative final contract, while Manchester City might opt to move on in 2026 as part of squad reinvention.
