The 2025-26 season was Bernardo Silva's ninth and final at Manchester City. Bernardo gave everything for City and left the club a legend. With his contract expired, where Bernardo Silva would go was the next question of discussion regarding the Portuguese international. The answer has arrived. Bernardo Silva moves to Real Madrid, and it will be strange to see him playing for Real Madrid, considering all the epic battles Manchester City have had with the 15-time UEFA Champions League winners. Bernardo Silva has agreed to sign with Real Madrid. Fabrizio Romano has reported that Bernardo Silva has given his consent to join Real Madrid. Furthermore, Romano reported that Bernardo will sign a two-year contract with Real Madrid, with an option for a third year. It is also reported that Real Madrid's new manager, José Mourinho, was keen to sign Bernardo. Finally, Romano highlighted that the deal that leads Bernardo Silva to call Real Madrid home, after his spell at Manchester City, came to fruition in the last 36 hours. After all the battles Manchester City have had against Real Madrid, it will be strange to see Bernardo wearing the shirt of the La Liga giants. Bernardo Silva has well earned the right to play wherever he likes following his trophy-rich spell at Manchester City. It's hard not to approve of Bernardo's transfer to Real Madrid. For a long time, it seemed that Bernardo Silva would end up playing in Spain. However, he remained at City until his contract expired at the end of the 2025-26 season. Manchester City and Real Madrid have had an epic rivalry over the last decade. The two teams regularly face each other in the Champions League, and Bernardo Silva has been at the forefront of that rivalry. His brace as City crushed Real Madrid 4-0 at the Etihad in the second match of the 2022-23 Champions League semi-final kick-started a famous City victory. That performance put City on the path to winning the treble. Bernardo was one of the best on the pitch on that memorable night. Considering all the battles Bernardo Silva and Manchester City have had with Real Madrid, it will be strange to see him wearing the Real Madrid shirt. However, if there is one player who deserves such a transfer, it is Bernardo Silva. Now it seems only a matter of time before Bernardo Silva joins Jose Mourinho's team as a leader.
